Philadelphia

As you saw in my Four Days in Philadelphia post, my college roommate came to visit Philadelphia for the first time, so of course we hit up all the major Philadelphia sights. The Liberty Bell was our second stop after Independence Hall, and it’s conveniently located right across the street. It’s free to visit the […]

If you read my Four Days in Philadelphia post, you saw that my college roommate, Stephanie, visited me in Philadelphia for the first time. Our first stop for the Philadelphia newbie? The Independence Hall tour! Yes, it is a tourist spot, but for good reason. You get a great history lesson on Philadelphia during the […]

My college roommate, Stephanie, came to visit me in Philadelphia for Labor Day weekend, and we packed in as much as we could over four days! We went all over the city and ate a ton of amazing food, and I created an itinerary for four days in Philadelphia so you can see all the […]

I probably say this in every other post, but I really love all the nature around Philadelphia. It’s a great perk of living in the city, and that’s why it was #8 on the 11 Things I’ve Learned Living in Philadelphia post! One neat thing about all the greenery around Philadelphia is the variety. In […]

Exciting news!!! Today is my ONE year anniversary of moving to Philadelphia! 🙂 It really flew by! There have been ups and a few downs, and I’ve definitely learned a lot about Philadelphia in the past year. It’s a fascinating city, and I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface! Here are 11 things I’ve […]

One of my favorite things about Philadelphia is how artsy it is. There are incredible murals, mosaic art pieces on buildings, and multiple art museums all over the city. The Philadelphia Museum of Art is one of my favorite places to visit, and I’ve actually been three times already! If you missed my previous Philadelphia […]

Even if you don’t live in Philadelphia, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of the Philadelphia Museum of Art because of its beautiful grounds… just kidding! It’s the home of the very famous Rocky Steps! (confession time: I actually didn’t even seen Rocky until a few months after I moved to Philadelphia) If you get the […]

I’ve said this before, but Philadelphia’s City Hall is my favorite building in the city. And it’s probably my favorite building in the United States (other than buildings in my hometown Washington, D.C.!), so I was really excited when I found out you could actually go to the top of City Hall! I actually only […]

I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! It finally consistently feels like spring in Philadelphia (and sometimes even summer), so it’s been nice to be able to spend more time outside. Annika is adamantly against this heat though and really wants the snow to come back! I’ve been able to explore more of […]

Spring has (mostly) come to Philadelphia! If you missed last week’s post, I had an entire post on spring flowers in bloom. It’s pretty neat to be able to see so many flowers and greenery in such a big city. And as I mentioned in my first post on the Schuylkill River, Philadelphia actually quite […]

Spring in Philadelphia has been all over the place and we’ve had lots of dreary, rainy weather from the end of April to now, so I thought I would brighten things up with some flower pictures! This is my first spring in Philadelphia, and I’ve been surprised how weird the weather has been. Christmas and […]
