| Danielle and me in a random park |
We woke up quite early and headed out by 10:30 AM. The trip was long, and I drove the entire time so naturally I was extremely tired when we finally arrived in Philadelphia.
Upon arriving in Philly, we got a little turned around. Once we found 1D world, we managed to get lost finding a parking garage however, miraculously I only got beeped at once. When we finally found a parking garage, I told them I'd return in two hours, which made me feel quite a bit rushed. When we began to walk Danielle got us somewhat lost because she used directions created specifically for driving hence, the reason it took a half an hour to get to the store, which should've only taken ten minutes but I don't fault her for that.

For those of you who don't know 1D World is a pop up store, which translates to a store that "pops" up in designated cities for a short period of time. I had wanted to go there so badly when it was in New York but couldn't because I live three hours away, and it really wasn't worth the trip. The actual store is a lot smaller than I expected and isn't really a store, more of a counter with a lot of One Direction merchandise behind it that you ask for from the clerk. I'd hate to see it on a busy day because it really is a crazy process. I didn't end up buying as much as I'd like because I had to get lunch still and pay for parking but I did pick up a "box" that had a tote, calendar (which I already had), bracelets, pendent, and a pen. I also got a poster to replace my old one that is a little outdated. Obviously, not exactly worth a long trip but it was an experience nonetheless and Danielle got to go to Philly, somewhere she'd never been before (we're working on getting her out more).

When we left I took control of the map because we all know Dani can not control it while walking (driving is all good, she's an excellent navigator). We saw a Shake Shack right by where we parked so we knew that was a place we wanted to stop. Even though I lived in New York for four months I have never been to Shake Shack (truly a sin, I know). Honestly, I was just excited for a good burger, one that everyone talks about.
We ended up each getting a burger from there. The cashier was so nice, and asked me about my stylish 1D bag (see below). I informed her about 1D World. Shout out to Shake Shack in Philly!

After that we headed for the car. Surprisingly, parking was pretty cheap, only $14.00 despite the fact it was valet. We got out of Philly pretty quickly, which was exciting and I didn't get lost once!
I knew I wanted a cardboard cut-out but I didn't want to spend $35.00 for one at 1D World AND have to carry it all around Philly so we stopped off at Toys R Us, which had them for $25.00. I also got my mom a Teddy from Good Luck Charlie doll because she is obsessed with that show. I literally have no idea why, she's a grown woman I swear!
We ended up heading home after Toys R Us, but not before I got a fabulous Liam cut-out that Flynn is deathly afraid of.

I do have to say that my sister, who dislikes One Direction and is a self-proclaimed "too cool for school" hipster, punky chick did accompany me to 1D World. I've included photo proof. She'll be so mad if she finds out this is somewhere public, good thing she never reads this blog!
Sorry this post was mostly pictures! Back to regularly scheduled programs next post!
