We checked into our hotel at Penns landing and they upgraded us to a water view suite free of charge! They also brought up a bottle of wine and chocolate covered strawberries for our anniversary! We walked around the historical area for a little bit and came upon a statue of the Philly Phanatic at the Liberty Bell. We found out it was a summer promo called "Phanatic Around Town". They had different artists paint the statues and placed 20 of them all over the city. We (yes WE) decided it would be fun to look for them on Monday.
You can't do Philly without cheese steaks, so we headed to Genos to get a steak. Didn't know they don't take debit cards, so we split one because we were starving! That did nothing for us so we went to Chikie's and Pete's for some crab fries. They were getting ready to broadcast the Phillies post game show live :) We said no baseball on the trip, but Deb was excited and they boys got to see us on TV.
Monday morning came around and we started out at IKEA. Deb said it was the quickest she'd ever been through there...1 hour? That was plenty! Now to find the Phanatics...Deb had the map in hand and we walked, and walked, and walked all over the city. We had so much fun...and it was FREE!
After we were worn out from walking we headed over to Pat's for a cheese steak! We took cash this time so we could get our own. I ordered mine "wiz witout". We both decided Genos was better steak, but Pat's had better bread and cheese. After being stuffed with cheese steak, we headed home to pick up the boys. It was a great and much needed time away! Now to get ready for the baby...
Pat's is better!!
