At the end of the fall we bought a membership to Morris Arboretum in Philadelphia. We haven’t taken much advantage of our membership, so we decided to head there last weekend to walk around and see what was in bloom for spring! There was plenty to see, although with my husband being a little under the weather we didn’t walk… Read More
Philly Travel: The Strasburg Railroad!
Last weekend we headed out to take Carter on his first train ride at the Strasburg railroad and he loved it! The railroad is a 45 minute ride through the countryside and as a bonus (because we didn’t know ahead of time) we got to meet Santa on the train! They do a Christmas themed train for the holidays and… Read More
Scenes from Philadelphia: Spruce Street Harbor Park!
A few weekends ago we headed into Philly to check out the Spruce Street Harbor Park. The park is a pop up park that was only open during the summer, and is probably one of the most unique and cool things I’ve seen in Philly in awhile! Along the Delaware River waterfront is usually just a walking path along the… Read More

The shops open their doors, serve wine… Read More
The Simeone Museum!
Besides the Yards Brewery Tour, another fun thing we did for my husband’s birthday was the Simeone Museum! The museum is in South Philly, very far south of the city and is basically a huge warehouse building with tons of cars. All the cars are of historic value or have been part of some kind of race, from Italian street… Read More
Yards Brewery Fun!
This weekend was my husband’s birthday and we had a big birthday extravaganza! None of our babysitters were available, so we ended up bringing Carter with us everywhere, but it worked out okay. One of the places we went to was the Yards brewery in North Philly! It’s one of the oldest breweries in the country and they even feature… Read More
Philadelphia’s Please Touch Museum
Last weekend we took Carter to the Please Touch Museum in Philly! The museum is specifically for children and has a ton of different things to do that they can play with and “touch.” Carter loved the museum and I know as he gets older he will find even more things to do and enjoy there! As soon as we… Read More
