triple threat

Oooooo yeah. We're going through this Philly bucket list it's our JOB.
Too bad we don't get paid to have fun. That would be awesome. Plus, then we wouldn't be...well...in need of money. [Dang. Moving across the country is expensive.]

We recently knocked out 3 items in 1 day. Oh yeah.

Item numbero uno: The Zoo!!
I got free tickets from one of the families I was nannying for. They got them as a gift, but are members so they get in free already. So they passed them onto me! Ahhh, the perks of being a city nanny :)
Right away I wanted to take a picture of us by the entrance, so I pull my camera out and...nothing. Battery's dead.
Geeeeesh.
So, no pictures from that. But our highlights were:
-Giant Elephant Shrew
-Orangutan sleeping under a sheet
-Baby orangutan swinging and climbing
-Sloth, who was a hoss and ate all the lettuce and left none for his partner in crime. And was actually pretty speedy despite the deceptive name
-Zebras, and deciding which one had the best design
-Giraffe who liked to lick bark, but the tree bark was fenced off so he really had to streeeeetch that tongue to get a little taste

Number TWO: Dinner at The Cambridge
Most of what is left on our list now are restaurants to eat at. Most of which were added by Ryan. Haha. We have slightly different priorities.
Anyways, so we were planning to go to a different restaurant (Supper) but last minute Ryan changed his mind and said to take that off the list and add The Cambridge so that we could go there instead and still check something off our list.

It was really loud. Like REALLY loud. Every sentence was followed by a, "WHAT?!" in response. Or a defeated, "I can't hear you." Practically no conversation whatsoever over dinner. And it was kind of pricey for what we got. We won't be going back.
But it was really cool inside. So...there's a plus for 'em.

Number 3: DESSERT AT PARC!
Parc is a super fancy restaurant in our neighborhood. It's modeled after several restaurants in Paris. So it's all French and romantic. Ever since we moved here I've wanted to eat dessert in their al fresco seating, overlooking the park. Our parents took us here after Ryan's white-coat ceremony and it was DELICIOUS which only made me want an al fresco dessert date even more!

I got chocolate pot de creme (which I totally pronounced correctly thanks to Pioneer Woman, despite my hardship with haricot verts) and Ryan got an apple fruit tart. Both were so good. Ooo, OOOO! So good.
I love dessert.

Only a few more items to complete on our bucket list. Which I'm so excited for, because our time here in Philly is coming to an end, so this means we'll be able to leave the city and NEVER LOOK BACK knowing we did everything we wanted to here! Here's to hoping we get everything checked off in the next few months.
