We took the train down on Friday afternoon and checked in around 330. We had wine and a cheese plate delivered as a treat.
We went to a Steven Starr restaurant called El Vez for dinner on Friday night. Delicious, the best blood orange margarita ever. Then we walked around and went to Love Park.
Saturday we were up and out early being tourists. We got on the hop on/hop off bus tour and did the entire loop ride of an hour and a half seeing pretty much all we would want to see on the surface without exploring in detail. Had we had more time we could have gotten off the bus anywhere it stopped and grabbed another one back when we were done. Next time maybe. Got to see Independence Hall finally though after living here for 5 years!
Onto the famouse City Tavern for lunch, even more delicious than El Vez and a quick walk over to Betsy Ross house before it closed. Tried to get to the Liberty Bell but it closed at 5pm.
That night we went to the Academy of Music to see Wicked. Such a grand theater and a great show! Glad we went for sure.
Sunday we got up early and went to see the Liberty Bell, at my request, we made it there before it even opened so we were in and out very quickly!
Then we checked out of our hotel, grabbed the train back home and were home in time for Parker to take the girls to the pool while I did the laundry and got some food in the house!
