We started Sunday at the 2nd Street Festival in an up and coming hipster neighborhood in northeast Philadelphia called Northern Liberties.
Had some brunch, people watched, shopped the tent vendors, and enjoyed a couple local brews (well, the other 3 members of our party did) before we decided to catch the end of the Phillies game at Citizens Bank Park.
With Ben's stellar negotiation skills, we were able to watch a few innings for only a couple of dollars each, and then celebrate the win at the attached bar, McFadden's.
| Jenna, lovin' on Franklin Chloe |
| Aron and Jenna Although he would prefer Wrigley, professional baseball is still fantastic on a Sunday afternoon. |
Dinner at Jose Garces' AMADA.
There are not words to describe how delicious
each and every tapas dish is at this place.
-fantastic service, amazing food, good Spanish wine-
(we were really bad at photo-documentation for this portion of the adventure)
Before they left, we had to stop by corporate Philadelphia for the LOVE statue,
City Hall, and the game piece statues.
And the Comcast Center.
Yes, one of the most impressive things to see in Philadelphia is
in the lobby of an evil cable company headquarters.
(I will give them props for being the nation's second tallest green building)
Lunch at Reading Terminal Market (like Reading Railroad from Monopoly, except we all pronounced it incorrectly unless we were from PA. It's "rehdding" not "reeding")
and off to the airport!
Thank you for coming!
