Honeymoon In Philadelphia

We were only going to be in Philly for 5 days, so we had to pick and choose what we did. There's only so many hours in a day you know.

Our hotel was right on the Delaware River. If you looked across, you could see Camden, New Jersey. We were a little disappointed that we couldn't rent a car, but it turned out we didn't really need one. You can get just about anywhere by bus, train, or boat. The streets are kind of narrow anyways, and the parking is pretty awful.

I seriously can't remember what days we did what, but we got married on Monday, went to Philly on Wednesday, and stayed until Sunday. We went for a horse and buggy ride through the city, went on a "Haunted Places" tour, saw the Philadelphia Zoo, hit a bar or two, saw an open air market, the Liberty Bell, and Independence Hall. We even crossed the river and saw an aquarium in New Jersey.

We saved the Eastern State Penitentiary tour for Saturday. That was the last day we were going to be there, and we wanted to see all of that. After all, that was the biggest reason we were there.

I'm sure you're thinking that couldn't have been all that romantic, but it was, and we had a great time!

There were so many things we didn't get to see because we ran out of time. When our son is a little bit older, maybe on our 10th wedding anniversary, we're going to go back. We have a lot of things we still want to see there, and we're going to do the Eastern State Tour again.
