Cole Hamels Retirement Night at Citizens Bank Park
As many of you know, I am a huge Philadelphia sports fan, and last weekend I got to watch Cole Hamels retire as a Philadelphia Phillie. Hamels was an important part of the Phillies pitching rotation during the early 2000s and a key player in the 2008 World Series.

Phillies Appreciation
While by the time I am writing this, the Philadelphia Phillies have already lost the NLCS in Game 7 to Arizona, I still would like to reminisce on my time at Game 6 at Citizens Bank Park. When my friend called with the chance for us to go to the game, I knew I had to take it. I have never been to a playoff game before, and it was what could have been a series-clinching game. (If you’ve been following, you would know that it unfortunately was not).
Looking Forward to the Fourth
With the Fourth of July falling on a Tuesday this year, I’m looking forward to enjoying a four-day weekend. This weekend my husband and I also celebrate our seventh wedding anniversary. We decided to celebrate the holiday and anniversary weekend with a combination of time together, with friends and with family.

Trip to Tampa/Clearwater
It was a great time to escape snowy Chicago in early March and enjoy the sunny west coast of Florida. I enjoyed staying at Renaissance Hotel in Tampa, a terrific hotel adjacent to International Plaza and Bay Street dining. I was delighted to see the indoor mall was thriving and the upscale restaurants were in full festive mode with outdoor dining, music and lights. I took full advantage of the diverse cuisine and libations each evening after swimming in the lovely hotel pool during the day.
