If you live anywhere on the east coast, you already know it’s been a brutal winter. We haven’t had a “normal” winter weather pattern for years and it’s hard to adjust to the bitter cold. Hubby and I have had our fill and are ready to take a quick trip to relax and unwind. When I heard about the Fireside Dining and Visit Philly Overnight Hotel Package I was thrilled. Nothing says warmth to me like a roaring fire and food! Fireplace, fire pit, inside or out, there’s nothing more romantic and fun! Plus, with the Visit Philly Overnight Hotel Package you car stays FREE! Some of the parking fees at hotels can really add up. Your car staying FREE will really save you money on your quick getaway. Yea! More money to spend shopping! (Shh..don’t tell the hubby).

Now that I am planning our getaway, what to do for 3 days and 2 nights in Philly? We like to eat, I like to shop, hubby likes history, so we are heading to the perfect city that offers everything that says fun to us. Oh and did I mention our college age daughter is interning, just a few miles away, so we can give her a special treat, too! Day #1 will surely include a trip to Independence Hall and the Benjamin Franklin Museum. Our daughter is a history buff, too. Philly offers some fantastic experiences you don’t want to miss. The history of our great country is brought to life in every corner of the city.

Did I mention, I am not a history fan? I follow along and pretend to be interested, but I am ready for the real fun, shopping! Just six blocks from the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, you will find an antique and thrift fans dream! You can hunt for treasures in the shops along Pine Street, from 9th Street to the Avenue of the Arts (Broad Street). I am ready to go now!

I really want to visit that part of the country. I have never been but it’s on our travel plans!
That sounds like a neat deal for a free parking spot. Would love to check out Philly.
I have never been to Philly before. Sounds like a wonderful place to visit with my husband! The historical attractions seem like something we would both like.
