We arrived at TB’s parents’ house around 11:30 Friday night and stayed up playing pinball and watching TV. We woke up around 11:00 on Saturday and leisurely headed toward Philly around noon. On the was there, TB showed us a detour that will get you around a stupid toll on I-95 in Delaware. Heavy rain made the drive a bitch for most of the way.

Our first stop was one of the townhouse developments in Wilmington. The area looked really nice but the rent there is a little more expensive than I’d like to pay. The next stops were two more townhouse developments, each one being just a couple hundred yards on either side of the Delaware-Pennsylvania border. The one on the Delaware side has nicer surroundings, it’s hilly with lots of trees, and the floorplans are cooler. The model we’re looking at there is a three floor townhouse.

After that we drove to an apartment complex in Drexel Hill and then got lost trying to find one in Upper Darby. We just decided that since we liked the first couple that we saw, we’d head downtown.

Once downtown we tried to find parking near Monk’s Cafe (they supposedly have the most awesome pommes frites) but there was nothing close so we decided to head to South Street.

We parked at the end of South street and walked to Jim’s Steaks. Megan and I each got a Cheese Steak, TB got two. After that we walked further down South Street and checked out a couple shops. Around 8:30 we headed back to TB’s.

When we got back we played pool and pinball for a while and then watched American Gladiators. We went to sleep at 2:30 and I just got up at 11:30.

Today we’re going to call the first couple places that we liked to arrange tours. Hopefully we’ll like the places so that we won’t have to try to find someplace else. We’re also going to try to squeeze in some bowling at some point.
