The Spirit of Philadelphia
Friday, July 18, 2008

Me and my wife set sail around 12:00am with a ship full my Kappa brothers from Norristown and their guests. We didn't go far... anyone who has ever been to Philly knows that "The Spirit..." (as we call it) takes a slow sail (3 hours) on the Delaware River down at Penn's Landing.

The DJ, music, food, and drinks were great. It was a "par-tay" in every sense of the word, done in true Kappa style. But, it's funny... after me and my wife left the dance floor, the best part of the evening for us was (the last 30 minutes of the cruise) going up on the top deck of the ship, relaxing, enjoying the night air (the weather was very kind), and taking in the sites along both riverbanks (Philly and Camden). The music on the top deck was much more mellow but, just as nice.

Here are a few of the photos we took before and during the cruise. I was told that it would be a "white linen" affair so, my wife and I tried to dress accordingly. Of course, that meant we had to eat and drink everything with a little more care than we normally would... but, we managed to make it through the night without incident (just a few near misses) and return home spotless (smile)!
