weekending // adventures on . . . MEMORIAL DAY

This year for Memorial Day weekend, my husband & I decided to ring in summer with an all-American weekend full of friends, fireworks, and oh yes, monster trucks.

Here's how the weekend played out . . .

1/  On Saturday, we gathered up friends at El Camino Real - primarily those that we know through fellow vintage bike lovers Chin on the Tank - and rode motorcycles out of the city to Plymouth Meeting where we indulged in an evening of monster trucks.
2/  Yes, that's right.  Nothing screams America like this.  The event, put on by KSR Motorsports, was much smaller than we anticipated, but super fun nonetheless.  Everyone had a smile plastered to their face. . .
3/  Especially when this happened.  This guy, this dare devil, blew my mind.
4/  After an evening a monster trucks, we needed a lazy Sunday at home.  (I spy a dog soaking up sunlight.)
5/  On Monday, we ventured across the Delaware River to watch the Camden Riversharks play baseball against the York Revolution.  We had been meaning to check out this minor league team for a while, especially since the stadium is right across the Ben Franklin Bridge from Philly.  And our tickets were just $5 each.
(Check out their complete summer schedule)
6/  I recommend getting seats behind 1st base for the best view of Philadelphia.  And who doesn't like that view, especially with a hotdog in front of it.
7/  Peanut shells.  The only time in life where it is acceptable to liter.
8/  And the highlight to the evening . . . we won the game!  And there were fireworks!!  It was the perfect ending to our 'merica weekend.

Cheers to the weekend,
