I got thrown out of bed shortly before 9:00am this morning, but it was well worth it. 
Dan surprised me with a trip to Philadelphia. After Jason arrived to take care of Alyssa and Ryan, and I had showered and dressed, we hit the road, stopped for breakfast, and then went down to the Mutter’s museum. Then we went to Nifty Fifty’s for an early dinner, and then we saw The Time Traveler’s Wife. I read the book last month, and I absolutely loved it. The movie was great, though as most inspired-by-the-book movies go, it differed somewhat from the book. But it was great. Rather moving, in fact — for both of us. Now I’m tempted to read the book again!
I’m tired. It’s been a long day, and I’m looking forward to going to bed, even though it’s not quite midnight!

I’m so jealous! I want to go to the Mutter Museum so bad! But it’s just a bit too far for a day trip for us sadly :(.

Wow, sounds like you had an awesome day! I want to read the book before I see the movie, because if I see the movie first I won’t read the book. I wind up getting board with the book for some reason when I do that. :/

I really want to read/watch The Time Traveler’s Wife, would you recommend watching the movie first, or reading the book?
Oh and your husband is such a sweetheart, you’re very lucky =] And he is lucky as well =]

As the domain name suggests, my name is Jenn, and I own this blog. I'm 26 years old and married to my one true ♥, Daniel. And while I have two kids (Alyssa is five, and Ryan is three), you won't find "mommy" in my username or email address, nor does my blog revolve around them. I'm a mother, but most importantly I am me, with a passion for love, blogging, reading, and photography. I'm also a busy freelance writer, web designer & SEO goddess.
I’m glad you had such a good day and that was nice of Dan to surprise you like that.
