Black Friday Bonanza

November 30, 2009

Black Friday 2009 was one for the record books.  Team HCG stayed up later than ever (we returned home at 5:30 a.m.), and CF almost didn’t make the trip (she was allegedly on her death bed).  Fortunately, CF spent the entire Thanksgiving day resting in bed watching “Uncle Buck” (I’m embarrassed even writing that), and [...]

Making Monday Better

November 30, 2009

Yes, it’s a rainy Monday here in Philadelphia.  But it’s Cyber Monday!
My awesome brother-in-law JDF was kind enough to forward a Cyber Monday Online Deals Chart.  Check it out!  My favorite deal is the free shipping at F21 on any amount.  That place really knows how to lure a girl in.

Two years ago the Philadelphia region was fortunate enough [...]

November 23, 2009

For our last supper in Barbados, we ventured back to St. Lawrence Gap and dined at Cafe Sol, an AMAZING Mexican restaurant.  On this, our 7th night in Barbados, we were feeling very relaxed.  The delicious food and drinks, twinkling colored lights and warm breezes only added to our state of bliss.
We are very late [...]

Pisces Schmisces

November 22, 2009

Last night we dined at Pisces in St. Lawrence Gap.  Pisces didn’t exactly hit a homerun in the food department, but the atmosphere was lovely.  The restaurant is located on top of the water and is lit up with millions of hanging lanterns.  The waves lapped underneath us, and we watched huge sea turtles swimming [...]
