It was like meeting a celebrity

Today I got to meet Rachel! I was super excited! We met at Adventure Aquarium, for a day of fun. I was a little nervous about meeting her, because I am much more boring in real life than I appear on my blog.

But it was fabulous. Rachel was so laid-back and easygoing. It felt like we had known each other for years. The conversation flowed smoothly, with no awkwardness. And Rachel is adorable. She is short and petite, with a cute little pregnant belly! Oh, and Max was freaking adorable. Seriously, pictures do not do him justice. He is too cute. And he is so gentle and sweet. A nice change of pace from most of the little boys we encounter.

Although it is hard to believe, I actually remembered to bring my camera. Of course, I took two pictures and my battery died. So, I have no good pictures to share. This lame picture is the best shot I got...Look closely at the picture...Max was eating Chinese food. BY HIMSELF. I was totally impressed with his utensil skills.

When we left, Rachel gave us a bag of goodies. Porgie loved her gift...
Actually, we all loved our gifts! Thank you Rachel!

So, if you have a bloggy friend in your area, I highly recommend that you get together for a playdate!

There are several VERY Popular Bloggers here in the Philly area, but I would never ever never NEVER invite them anywhere to meet me. I have this fear of rejection.

You Jersey girls seem very (I almost typed "easy"! Not the way it sounded, swear!!) laid back & easy to talk to. I can picture a bunch of us down the shore with umbrellas, coolers of pb&j's and juice boxes while the kiddies run around chasing "eagles" and throwing sand on each other.

Em said...
