Well I am back after a long 3 weeks. I was back home in Philadelphia visiting my family with my boyfriend. We had such a great time! We were busy everyday with a new adventure. We went hiking and canoeing, visited Longwood gardens and my mom’s place on the Chester River (near the Chesapeake Bay), stayed at my sister’s place in Philadelphia and went shopping, spent a day in New York City and took a little trip to Coney Island, and went to a wedding!

Well I just wanted to share some photos really. First off, my outfit for the wedding and the earrings I designed for my dress! My sister and I:

Here are the dynamic and geometric earrings I designed to go with the colors, V-cut and angles of my dress.

Some nice pictures I took on the flight over. The sky was so beautiful and the clouds were casting such crisp shadows on the ocean below.

Here are some fun things I saw in a few store fronts in Philadelphia.

While we were in Philadelphia, my sister took us to this really fancy Yoga/workout clothing store. My plan is to be able to shop there for my stuff in 5 years! It was such nice clothing, the prices were high, but for someone who loves workout clothes as much as I, it could be worth it…one day!

The following are some photos of some of the great food we ate during our stay. We ate well, to say the least!

We had a hot dog here at Coney Island:

Lamb we made for a dinner party at my mom’s:

We went canoeing with my Dad and his girlfriend and we spotted a bald eagle up in the tree tops. I tried to creep closer on the shore to get a better photo, but I spooked him and we got to watch him take off and fly across the lake.

In New York City my boyfriend and I stopped by Times Square before we headed home and enjoyed the lights and the glitter for a half an hour or so. I like these pics:

At Longwood gardens there were these beautiful giant lily pads and pumpkins!

I love this pic…it was my sister’s idea:
