Road trip!

Many months ago, Amy and her friends started planning for a road trip to Philadelphia for a music festival. It was the Bittersweet Daze with mxmtoon, Ricky Montgomery, grentperez and Cavetown at the Skyline Stage at the Mann on August 4. They bought concert tickets, booked an AirBnB,  canceled the Air BnB in favor of a hotel room, and made their travel plans. Molly was the driver and planner for which rest stops they would stop at, Amy was the navigator, and Yohannes held down the back seat.

We were worried about this trip, as driving to Philly is kinda scary even for longtime drivers. But we reminded ourselves that in very short order, these same kids will be at college doing absolutely whatever they want all the time. Plus they're all adults. So we signed off on the trip and hoped for the best.

Made it to their hotel room.

Well they seem to have had a great time, with absolutely zero problems. They made it to their hotel, then over to the venue for the 5+ hour general admission, all-standing concert. They made it back to their room, found a great breakfast spot for the next morning, visited the Franklin Institute (science museum), then headed back home. 

I hope they made lifelong memories of their very first adult adventure.
