Day 108: Is this for real?

Holding hands while strolling through the city, live piano music with drinks before dinner, a delicious dinner in a cozy, romantic restaurant, a personal tour of Philadelphia, even entertainment from a most hilarious comedian. I can't believe this whole night really happened! Maybe I've been single too long or have gotten too cynical after years in news to believe moments like this can be real, but I spent the night walking a line between giddiness and disbelief. Even the next day, it was like we ordered the crisp, fall weather and sunshine that let us stroll comfortably through the city again. He even indulged my inner nerd and took me to the Liberty Bell (I mean, it's not every day you're practically on top of a piece of history!). A little lunch, a trip to the art museum (aka, the Rocky Steps), and it was the perfect end to a perfect weekend. Well, there were some blisters involved, wrong shoe choice on my part, but the pinches of pain were totally worth it.
