Last October, my husband and I traveled to Pennsylvania for a wedding.\u00a0 The wedding was in upstate PA in a small town called New Hope about an hour north of Philadelphia.\u00a0 Neither of us had ever been to Philly before so we knew that traveling all the way from CA to PA we would want to spend some time in the city before heading north.\u00a0 Through our awesome World Travel agent Heidi Nanigian, we were booked at a hotel just steps from the City Hall building in downtown Philadelphia.\u00a0 The location of this hotel was just perfect.\u00a0 We could walk to many museums, restaurants, historical sites, and parks.\u00a0 We spent the first day walking around the city and discovered some great local bars and shops.\u00a0 Of course we also had to taste an authentic cheesesteak, so we hopped in an Uber and took ourselves on a self-guided tour of some of the most famous cheesesteak restaurants.\u00a0 We tried Pat\u2019s, Geno\u2019s, Ishkabibble\u2019s, Jim\u2019s, and DiNic\u2019s.\u00a0 We agreed that Jims was probably the best of the ones we tried, but I think we\u2019ll have to go back and try a few more before officially declaring a winner.\u00a0 The next day we went down to the historical area to see the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and take the Hop On \u2013 Hop Off double decker bus tour.\u00a0 This was a great way to get around while getting an entertaining overview of the city.\u00a0 We\u2019ve done similar tours in other cities we\u2019ve traveled to and really love them.\u00a0 The tour guides are always funny and give great suggestions.\u00a0 One of the recommendations our guide made was instead of spending nearly $15 to go to the observation deck on the One Liberty building, to go next door to the R2L Lounge for happy hour and spend that $15 on a cocktail while enjoying the same view of the city.\u00a0 This was such a great idea and we\u2019re glad we took her advice.\u00a0 Traveling to Philadelphia without any expectations or concrete plans allowed us the freedom to wander and discover fun places along the way.\u00a0 This was such a fun trip and a great city.\u00a0 We definitely want to go back again soon!<\/p>\n
