One of my gifts to C for Valentine's Day was a weekend trip
to Philadelphia because despite us having traveled there several times, we'd
never visited the historical sites. Not
sure why – I guess because we'd only taken day trips for sporting events there
– but with a three-day weekend and beautiful weather on the horizon, it seemed
like the perfect thing to do!
We drove up on Saturday morning and spent the rest of the
day and all day on Sunday soaking up as much history as possible before heading
home on Monday morning. We had such a
fun weekend! And I'm not going to lie –
I was overcome and shed many tears as I read, watched, and listened to all of the
accounts of the events leading up to, during, and after the Revolutionary War. Our history is complex and moving, to say the
least, and as an immigrant, I think I digest it with a unique perspective and appreciation for it.
In addition to the amazing history, we loved the hotel, we
ate at some awesome restaurants, and we just generally enjoyed our time
together. If only we could spend every
weekend living it up in a cool city!
Happy Tails to you!
