Day 10! First of all I am well aware that Washington, D.C. is not in Maryland, but Off Exploring wouldn't let me write the blog without a state and as D.C. is not a state it wasn't an option to choose from. Looks silly but not much I can do about it. Anyway, the first half of our day was spent in Philadelphia. We went super west coast this morning, getting mani pedis and then a green juice for breakfast! It was so nice to get our nails done, it really should be m...

Day 9! We walked around more of the historic quarter today, and got $5 Philly tshirts printed in this cute wee shop!

She recommended we go to Reading Terminal market for ...

And the boardwalk was pretty cool, with loads of cafés and bars and shops. We tried a New Jersey delicacy of deep fried Oreos, which were actually a lot better than ...

Day 6! First thing we did was go surfing this morning, which was AWESOME! So much fun, and so much better than that one time I did it in Scotland.. We got an instructor each, 3 high school guys who were really good. They all looked like stereotypical surfers, and sounded like them too! A lot of "dude, sweet" and "you guys stoked?" They just took us straight into the sea, which was surprisingly warm but filled with so much slimy seaweed! We got an hour and a half ...
