Philadelphia, PA

The Saturday of our weekend in Philly was horrendously cold and rainy, but we still browsed the Holiday Market and Christmas Village, which were charming. The Wanamaker Organ at Macy's was neat to look at, but it was hard to see around all the Christmas lights (which were, to be perfectly honest, pretty underwhelming).

The Sunday was sunny and pleasant, perfect for visiting a perennial favorite: Eastern State Penitentiary. I have nothing new to say about this. I just love it.

One Labor Day weekend my husband and I decided to visit Philly. We saw the famous stuff (Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell), ate the traditional stuff (Pat's; next time we'll try Geno's), saw the creepy stuff (the Insectarium - not recommended), did the touristy stuff (a Star Trek exhibit at The Franklin Institute - a little disappointing for the price), and experienced the truly unforgettable stuff (Eastern State Penitentiary and the Mutter Museum). All in all, a great trip.

P.S. - I'm pretty sure you can't snarf my journal page. :P
