On the way to Dominica, I scheduled my layover in Philadelphia. Although I was in Philly for less than 24 hours, my incredible sister hauled us to a delicious Indian Restaurant and the Frida Kahlo exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. She’s a long time favorite artist of ours. Once, I coerced the Ashbakers and Darwin (after only a month of dating) into recreating a 8 ft by 3 1/2 ft Diego Rivera mural for a class project. Remember that one, Ashbakers? (proof coming soon).

This was Friday night: the three of us in heels (Mom, my sister and I), one baby in a stroller, and one cold shower. Between us, one umbrella shielded us (Isabella) for the 8-minute run and 80 steps to the museum doors only to confront the sign “Underground Parking This Way.” And how did the cutest niece in the world fare? Laughing and giggling all the way… I love that girl.
