Las night all us girls got dolled up for the Friday night cocktail party at HLS.
My roommies: Tanya and Andrea, minus Stephanie.
We arrived downstairs 10 minutes too soon to walk across the street to the party, so we decided to have a cocktail at the hotel bar.
I asked for a drink that I had several weeks ago and loved: club soda, vodka, and grapefruit juice, with a salted rim and a lime.
A few people thought that sounded good as well and ordered the same. I love this drink! It’s not too sweet, it’s refreshing, and I love a salted rim on my glass. 
After a quick run through the rain to get to the party, we helped ourselves to the adult beverages inside. There was a chia cocktail, but I stuck to red wine.
Philly cheese steak wontons were passed around.
We also helped ourselves to the delicious buffet of appetizers.
My plate — I went back for a little more later.
Stephanie and Andrea
Me, Erin, and Heather
Same people, different order
Erin and I had a little too much fun in the photo booth.
And it all took place here! Market by day, cocktail party by night.
We’re having a great time at here in Philly!
That cocktail sounds delicious. Do a lot of bars have grapefruit juice? Sounds like a fun evening! Photo booths are the best!
I think most bars have grapefruit juice but I haven’t ordered it at a ton of places. It’s worth asking for — I love this drink!
I’m so glad yall are having such a fun time!!
I’m jealous. Last night, I mentioned to Jason that there was a blogging conference in Philly and he’s like, “Oh, you should have gone.” Now you tell me!
I like to do that drink only I do cranberry instead of grapefruit. A little sweeter.
You’re the best photo booth partner ever!
Beautiful shots to capture an excellent evening. Top notch, lady.
Looks like so much fun, and those wantons look to DIE for!!!
bahaha you put “same people differrent order” but that’s totally Stephanie in the second one and not me. I know you are tired. Bless your heart.
