Friday Fives: Trip to Philly

My mom and I just got back from a trip to Philly, where we attended the DSMA Live event (see my last post), and did lots of tourist-y stuff.

1. Parking in Philly is IMPOSSIBLE. We expected it to be bad, but come on! It took us 45 minutes once just to find a parking place, half a mile from where we were going! Ridiculous. Not to mention the small fortune we had to pay each time...
2. We stay in a hotel in Crowne Plaza that was nice. The only two complaints we had was the music in the room next to us was so loud that we couldn't sleep (not the hotel's fault, but still), and when we came back to our hotel on Thursday the maid had been there, but there weren't any towels. It took us two hours to actually get towels so we could shower. 
3. We went to the Mutter Museum and it was awesome! It was a little creepy, but still really cool. I bought a shirt at the gift shop as a souvenir.  
4. We also went on a walking ghost tour of Philly. We did not see any ghosts.... what a shame.
5. My site got ripped out of my leg on Thursday night. I didn't notice that or that my blood sugar was high until we got to TGI Fridays for dinner. I freaked out a little (okay, a lot) when I looked at the menu and saw the turkey burger I just ordered with fries had 93g of carbs. *gasp* I didn't eat all of it or all the fries. I changed my site when we got home and gave more insulin... just to be in the 40's later that night. I can never win.

Overall, it was a great trip. I loved spending time with just my mom. We left my brothers at home (ha!). I loved going to the DSMA event and meeting everyone. (See also: DSMA Live Meet-Up)
Have a great weekend! :)
