It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

On our actual anniversary date Sean worked so we didn't do anything besides the "Happy Anniversary, kiss kiss". We haven't exchanged gifts for our wedding anniversary since our first year of marriage. We agreed that we'll do that every fifth year ... 5, 10, 15. I'm sure you get my drift.

We decided that on the weekend we'll do a day trip to Philadelphia. Kind of an anniversary trip, kind of not since we've been wanting to visit Philly for a while. We also decided that we'll have to go again since a day trip doesn't do any city justice.

For some reason, Sean was dead set on going to a museum. He said he did not know if he had ever been to one. I asked, "Not even on school trips?" And he could not remember. I did not mind one bit and to the Philadelphia Museum of Art we went. It was $20 per person for us to get in, so rather inexpensive in my opinion.

I loved the furniture the museum had on display. They just do not make furniture like that anymore. And the art (oil on canvasses) blew me away. Such talent to be able to create such masterpieces with so little. I did not take notes like a good museum goer to share the artist of each piece but I did take pictures of my favorites to share like a good blogger ;).

We took a little break by visiting their cafe and shared a mozzarella, tomato and pesto sandwich which was so delicious. I did not take a picture of it as I was too busy stuffing my pie-hole.

After we ate we continued to view more of what the museum offered.

After the museum we checked out the Rocky statue per Sean's request but he did not want a picture. So I did, naturally.

Then we were off for more sight seeing but not before going back to our car and finding a $36 ticket. All I said to Sean was, "I told you we shouldn't have parked here. Mind you every single time I've ever said that we've gotten a ticket so I've decided I will not say that again. That should definitely do the trick.

We walked around City Hall, Liberty Place, Rittenhouse Square and Fairmount Park. Not nearly enough but there's just so much one can do in a day's visit.

We ended our day trip by going to Nodding Heads for dinner. The lighting was pretty bad so bear with my pictures.

We ordered wings for an appetizer which was really good. For an entree, I ordered a jerk chicken sandwich that had plantains on top and the fries came with onions and jalapeno peppers. Unfortunately, I was not impressed. Sean said it was delicious but I was also having a bellyache so that could explain why I wasn't impressed. Sean ordered a burger that came with an egg on top. He loved it but I didn't try it because I like my eggs cooked through. The service was great though and that always counts for something with me. But like I said, Sean loved both of our meals. He ended up eating mine as well.

We had a great day and enjoyed visiting a new city. I'm excited to visit again which shouldn't be too long of a wait since we're just an hour and 15 minutes away.

I hope that you all had wonderful weekends! Happy Monday! ♥
