After a day of travel, you finally reach your destination. Now, you have two options-take a rest or hit the streets. Our daughter met our train from Boston, got us checked into our B & B (La Reserve), then started to show us the city she had fallen in love with over the last few months. This is the way to start a visit-immerse yourself in the new place from the moment your arrive. Rest and relaxation can come later.
I didn't take many photos the first day, but the ones in this post are expressions of my first impressions of Philadelphia. The City of Brotherly Love was captured in views of Love Park and the sign of a Pledge of Nonviolence. Philadelphia lived up to its name during our stay, leaving a lasting impression of being a warm, safe, friendly city on our day and late evening walks. Other flashbacks-a flower cappuccino made by a coffee artist at Elixr, the skyline around City Hall, and the playful game pieces sculptures on the way to Love Park.
That walk during our first afternoon in Philadelphia set the stage for our other explorations over the week. It became very obvious why our daughter loves the city. While we saw and did many things during our stay, there is still so much yet to experience. Philadelphia, we will return.
Thank you for stopping by, please come again. Until then, may your travels be interesting and enjoyable.

Hi Kerry, You right there is something with this city. We also spent time there with the kids and they really have good memories. We were on the winter and it was a bit cold walking the street but still we visit the science museum it was a great fun.

Jasmine-Thank you for your comments. If you ever have a chance to visit the city during autumn, the temperature is perfect for walking around. (Avoid July-August when the heat is draining on walkers.)
Happy travels!
Kerry
