These cops pulled in front of us on the highway and made everyone slow down |

It turned out to be because of construction on the road up ahead |

Bryce chills out in a McDonalds |

James is really loving his ice cream |

Tony orders some late night food |

We were in Bryce's house for about ten seconds when he opened a cabinet and sent pasta spilling everywhere |

It's a pastastrophe |

I finally met Pepper! |

Bryce gives Pepper a hug |

Bryce is determined to hold on |

Pepper turns her attention back to Bryce |

Oh no! Face licking! |

What's up, Pepper? |

Pepper was excited by all the people |

I like her funny white ears |

This one is actually kind of scary |

Pepper was ready for fun when we woke up |

James and Pepper chill on the couch |

Pepper really liked James |

Even Pepper thinks this picture is creepy |

Speaking of creepy.. |

James actually know how to handle dogs, unlike me |

Mr. Beepers! |

What's outside? |

What's over there? |

What's over there!? |

Pepper was quite a lounger |

Dancing time |

James is really enjoying his cheese steak |

Bryce brought us to Jim's for authentic Phillie cheese steaks |

Tony was more impressed than he looks here |

Here's mine.. well, half of it anyway |

Everyone sitting around at Jim's |

Sitting around |

Bryce took a wrong turn and we ended up going across the Benjamin Franklin bridge into New Jersey |

At least I got some neat bridge pics |

I only took a picture of this because James said "Millennium Falcon World!?" |

What happened to the building under the billboard!? |

Bryce made whoever was riding shotgun hold the EZ Pass up like this every time.. |

It's that bridge again |

James is certainly having fun |

Philadelphia! |

A weird sculpture |

Some skyscraper |

Hey I know that guy |

I love Central Phila |

That's where we're heading |

Ooo, Grand Theft Auto |

Bryce was driving along |

Squid sculpture? |

Hey I know that place |

This was a great shot until the truck drove in front of it. I just kept the picture to be able to say that |

Bryce standing around in the zoo parking lot |

James was really looking forward to the zoo |

Alicia came too! |

Yep, America's first zoo |

Everyone walking into the park |

Time to get tickets |

Alicia and Bryce buy their tickets |

This dude was talking for a TV camera |

An elephant statue |

Some neat fountain |

Everyone looks at their park maps, figuring out where to go |

Alicia apparently wants to go.. that-a-way |

Fountain! |

A kangaroo! |

They actually are really weird to see in person |

We called this guy loungie |

It's strange to see them walk instead of hop |

An emu! |

PORSCHE! |

This guy looks.. poisonous |

Creepy snake |

Hi snake |

A snake hiding under a branch |

Bryce really liked these guys becuase of how they were sleeping |

They just kind of folded themselves up |

A boa constrictor! |

He was pretty big |

Another boa |

What is this, Slytherin house? |

A chameleon |

I called this guy the "turd lizard" |

This is why.. look at him from above |

Lizard |

Pitcher plants! I've never seen them in person |

Venus fly traps! |

It's tough to see how big this alligator was in this picture |

He was pretty big |

A crocodile |

Nile crocodiles! They sat like this the whole time |

A peacock strutting around |

A peacock from behind |

There were some peahens wandering around too |

Some zoo workers were in the tortoise pen |

With a human next to it, you can really tell how big the tortoises are |

Another tortoise |

They're getting closer! |

They don't move very fast |

Closer still! |

A rhino! |

He's like body armor with legs |

I'm not sure what this guy is but he reminded me of the GNU logo. I don't think he's actually a gnu though |

The peacock finally turned around |

An elephant! |

He was reaching around with his trunk |

Another elephant |

A zoo worker tends to the rhino |

Heeey rhino |

James snaps a picture of the rhino on his cell phone |

James was really stoked |

Om nom nom |

nom nom nom |

"Hey! Eat the food in your own pen!" |

The sneaky elephant is after the rhino's food |

This guy walked up to the glass, looked around a bit, and walked off |

There he goes |

Off into the wild blue yonder |

These guys were probably the highlight of the trip |

It was nearly impossible to get a picture of them because they were constantly moving |

They were really fun to watch |

A mommy monkey with a baby on her back! |

This guy kept trying to get through the grate |

What are you looking at? |

Looking around at the other monkeys |

This guy was pretty cool |

Some kind of monkey |

Looking outside |

This monkey is kind of gross, especially when you notice she's peeing |

This guy was really funny. He was just idly pulling hay or something off of a net |

Sometimes he'd eat a little |

Tony, Bryce, and James watching the gibbons |

A gibbon! |

Sadly, he had no ribbon |

The orangutan was chilling out in the moat-like area |

Bryce and Alicia look at the animals |

It was tough to get a good picture of the lion because of the fence |

Don't you give me that crazy look |

I think this is a panther |

A lioness |

Tigers! |

The tigers were pretty cool |

He kept his mouth open for a while |

Time to relax |

Hey Tony |

Click on this picture, the peacock is really funny |

A peahen up close |

A duck! |

The most detailed picture of a Canadian goose I ever hope to take |

The goose was here of his own free will |

A prairie dog |

He was checking us out |

The bald eagles look pretty majestic, until they whip their head around to a weird angle like this |

That's more like it |

The cheetah exhibit was actually a little worrisome |

As you can tell by the quality of the picture, there was no fence or glass or anything |

If they jumped like eight feet they would've been out |

I guess the zoo people know what they're doing |

The cheetah sits down for a bit |

What's over there? |

A white-nosed coati looks around for bugs |

I bet that's the last coati, white-nosed or otherwise, I'll see |

A rhino with the full horn! |

His "armor" wasn't quite as impressive though |

He was smelling the ground for.. something |

Bryce poses with the giraffe |

A picture of Alicia trying to get a decent picture of Bryce |

Bryce busts out the "McCoy pose" |

A giraffe eating some leaves |

A giraffe! |

See? Black tongue! |

Alicia and Bryce near the giraffe |

Taking a self picture |

Alicia claims Bryce was messing them up on purpose |

Even I got in on the self-picture fun |

Got any toys for me, giraffe? |

The latest in the "excited James poses near animals" series |

Zebras! |

It was a little difficult to tell where one ended and another started, but I guess that's kind of the idea |

Alicia stands near the zoo balloon |

It's an actual balloon that will go up and down on a cable |

Zoo-per size? That sounds familiar.. |

Oh yeah, Zoopers! |

I figured Melrose James would get a kick out of this place's address |

James and Bryce's dad at Kabuki |

Bryce's parents took us out for sushi! |

What's up Bryce? |

We had champagne! |

The sushi guy behind his counter |

Proposing a toast |

Toast time! |

Toasting to graduation |

Miso soup |

Soy sauce and wasabi |

They PREFER Discover!? This is my new favorite restaurant |

James and Tony at the end of the table |

My sushi platter was delicious |

For some reason there was a Lockheed Martin building amongst the Target, Best Buy, Toys R Us, and movie theater.. |

A blast from the past! Tornado Rex! |

These hikers don't know what they're in for |

Oh no! Tornado Rex! |

We had way too much fun with this game |

This dude had three cats just chilling in his back seat! |

Driving back to Massachusetts! |
