To sum it up real quick, the birthday involved a party, a trip to the bar, tasting many forms of alcohol on Monday night/Tuesday morning. It wrapped up with a road trip from College Park to Philadelphia to watch the Phillies vs. Mets game last night.

The birthday was a success...in that I wasn't even a little bit hungover when I woke up Tuesday morning! Whoo!

We didn't get back from the Phillies game last night until about two in the morning....there was construction everywhere all over 95. It took us about 1.5 hours to get to Philly and it took about 3 to get back to College Park....ridiculous.

Needless to say no run this morning, but the UMD running club meets at five today, so I might try to meet up with them and squeeze in a short taper run. My throat is currently on fire though in part because I have a cold and in part because of the yelling at the game last night. So I'll see how I feel.

Anyway here's some pictures of the night:

My roommate, Emily, and me at my birthday dinner at Olive Garden.


Me in the bar sipping a pineapple and rum. (The crazy kids behind me are my friend Ryan and his girlfriend Kristen...they were the ones who bought me the drink.)


Me and my younger brother at the Phillies game. (Yea the 21st birthday tiara kind of rocked!)
