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 […]

I’m back with a Nerd Corner post for Vikings in America! As I explained in my first Nerd Corner post, I’m a huge nerd (especially about Vikings), so I’ll sometimes share cool articles that I’ve found with you all. And this post is actually a Nerd Corner and Philadelphia photography combo because the American Swedish […]

In my first Georgetown post I had pictures of the oldest house in Washington, D.C. dating from before the Revolutionary War, and this post is about Elfreth’s Alley, the oldest residential street in the United States right in Philadelphia! If you haven’t been to Elfreth’s Alley yet, it’s a quaint little street just a short […]

On Saturday, I went to my first blog conference! The Blog Connect was a blog conference hosted by PHLBloggers, an amazing blogging group in Philadelphia (if you’re a Philly blogger and aren’t a part of this group, you should definitely check them out!). I’ve been to a few of the PHLBloggers events since I started […]

As I’ve warned you, I’m a little, teensy bit obsessed with Vikings. I kinda even wrote a 45 page thesis on them in college (the pdf is here, and I promise it’s actually interesting for any brave souls who want to read it!). Since I’m a huge history nerd and I love reading interesting articles […]
