The day after Christmas, Jane's wound was healing PC261049 so we decided that we could go to Trenton and the Sovereign Bank Arena PC261050 but were unable to get a picture of the sign PC261051 that highlighted the Ja Rule concert. But, we went to the concert anyways. Unfortunately for you they would not let us bring our camera to the concert. Unfortunately for us they didn't bother to tell us this until we had done some time in the waiting line to get patted down for the concert. Things being what they were, we have many happy memories of the concert and Jane has this fine shirt PC271054 to show for her efforts.

Since Jane had her shirt on, Benjamin got together his list of Pokemon cards PC271052 and Sarah decided that it was time to think about finishing her college applications PC271053 while Benjamin and I got Suzanne PC271055 and began our pilgrimage to Staples PC271056 which we entered by the front door PC271057 so that Benjamin could browse PC271058 until he found trading card pages PC271059 to go with the index cards PC271060 that Suzanne found.

Having brought our purchases home, Benjamin tried to get Sarah off the phone PC271061 or at least aiming towards the camera PC271062 so that we could begin our journey to Philadelphia.

Once in Philadelphia, we found a parking place PC271063 near this elegant sign PC271064 at this intersection PC271065 and walked through the cold to get to the restaurant. Once inside, we washed hands and took this rest room sign for the collection. PC271066 We were there first and recorded Sarah, PC271067 Jane, PC271068 Benjamin, PC271069 Joyce, PC271070 and Suzanne (who was incognito) PC271071 before Joyce took this picture of me PC271072 and the Slaughters arrived to this broken picture. PC271073

Martha was very excited to see us and bounced all around PC271074 though Erika, PC271075 Willa, PC271076 Bill PC271077 and Sam PC271078 were much calmer. Once we had studied the menu PC271079 Joe PC271080 showed up, so we ordered this bottle of wine PC271081 and this antipasto PC271082 to tide us over before the main courses arrived. Sarah had this gnocchi dish, PC271083 while I had the risotto porcini, PC271084 Willa had this veal dish, PC271085 Joe had this veal dish, PC271086 Joyce and Martha ordered this clam and pasta dish PC271087 while Benjamin and Erika had this PC271088 pasta and Jane had this good looking salad PC271089 even though it had shrimp on top. Bill and Suzanne had this veal chop dish PC271090 which seemed to make them very happy. The waiter reappeared with this dessert tray PC271091 showing off these wonderful delicacies PC271092 of which we had a few cannolis, PC271093 this lemon sorbet PC271094 and this raspberry something or other. PC271095

At this point, Benjamin took over the camera and decided to focus on pictures involving pictures and pictures involving light. He began with Martha PC271096 and then the glasses on the wall PC271097 followed by the wreath PC271098 and other lights PC271099 and the white napkin. PC271100 Next came Jane's Bat Mitzvah gift, PC271101 the wreath again, PC271102 and the light PC271103 in the ceiling. After two pictures of the pictures PC271104 PC271105 on the walls, he turned to people pictures starting with Sarah and Joyce PC271106 and then doing various views of those assembled at the table PC271107 PC271108 PC271109 PC271110 PC271111 PC271112 PC271113 and then a clearer shot of Martha. PC271114 After an interruption for something known only to Miryan Orjuela, PC271115 he was back to the people at the table PC271116 PC271117 PC271118 PC271119 and another Miryan picture PC271120 before going back to the people pictures PC271121 PC271122 PC271123 PC271124 PC271125 which led to some pictures of glasses PC271126 PC271127 and then interior restaurant scenes PC271128 PC271129 PC271130 PC271131 PC271132 that ended with two pictures of Jane's gift. PC271133 PC271134

Another wonderful meal on another holiday night made us happy for friendship and worrying that we'd have to go back to our diets.
