Since Valentines Day was yesterday, Steve surprised me with a trip to Philadelphia for our Valentines Day getaway! It was absolutely beautiful! Its only a 45 minutes drive. In my head it was hours away since I had never looked it up. New York City is two hours away, the Jersey shore is an hour and a half, and Washington DC is two hours as well. We are right in the center of all these places we have been wanting to visit and I really had no idea.
We made our trip to Philly a day trip and got to see most of what we wanted to. The day went by so fast since there is so much to see. I hope you enjoy our photos.
Some photos don't have captions because I am not really sure the story of them, I just took photos of all the neat statues and beautiful buildings.
