Back From Philly

bedroom We just recently returned from our trip out east to visit with my family. At the tail end of our visit, we ventured off to Philadelphia, PA for a bit of sightseeing.

Thanks so much to all of you who offered so many tips and ideas for hotels and attractions. The information was extremely helpful.

Since we have a Hilton Honors card which we're building points on, we decided to stay at the Homewood Suites. It was a little bit outside of the historical area, but easily accessible by a bus that we caught right outside.

The prices were very reasonable for the area--less than $200 per night. It was a comfortable, large room with two beds, a full kitchen, a tv/reading area and an eating area. They also had free wireless access. Breakfast was included each day (we weren't there on a weeknight, but if we had been, dinner would have also been included!) and the people running things there were exceptionally lovely. It worked out very well.

We made the most of our 4 days in Philly--Sesame Place, Independence Hall, The Franklin Institute, The National Constitution Center, The Please Touch Museum and The Liberty Bell--just to name a few. We also ate at City Tavern (George Washington ate there!) and a few very cool restaurants in nearby Manayunk. We even took a very tourist-y ride on The Ducks, which are basically tour buses that ride on land and water.

We were hoping to get into Bucks County and The Amish Country, but there just wasn't enough time this trip. That's fine, because we'll have somewhere to go next time we're in Pennsylvania.

We had a very nice, informative trip. It's a great place to visit and there's definitely plenty to do.

If you're interested in seeing our Philly photos, just email me at getorgnow@charter.net and I'll share the link.
