Our Weekend in Philly

Hi!

Alex's aunt, uncle, and cousin live in Philadelphia, PA, and we went to visit them this weekend!  We had such a great time.  I had never been there before and Alex hadn't been there for a long time.

When we first got there, we went to a farm with a pumpkin patch, apple picking, etc.  It was really nice out (all weekend) and we ate lunch there and got apple cider donuts.  So yummy!

  

They had SO many different types of pumpkins.  I think the fairytale pumpkins were my fave!

After the pumpkin patch, we went to the Brandywine River Museum of Art.  It was really cool!  We walked along the river that's behind the museum afterwards and that was really nice.  

We ate dinner at a place called Goat Hollow and the food was delish.  I got the Chicken Relleno Sandwich which had chorizo in the chicken breast with manchego cheese on top.  YUM.  After dinner we picked up some salted caramel gelato at their Co-Op grocery store and ate that at home with some of the apple cider donuts.  It was sooo good!  We watched the movie Philomena, which is really interesting and really sad!

Today we got to eat brunch with Alex's cousin, too, and he showed us around the Penn campus.  We ate at the White Dog Cafe.  I got shrimp and grits which was amazing.

We walked around downtown Philadelphia, too, which was really fun!  We got to see Betsy Ross's house, the Carpenters Company, and lots of other historic places.  Everything was so cute and old.  I loved it!

We're home now!  I have a bunch of new elastic so I'm going to work on hairties like crazy tomorrow!

Thanks for reading!
