Night in the Big City

We spent last night in Philadelphia to celebrate our anniversery. The kids gave us a night at the Rittenhouse 1715, located a block from Rittenhouse Square. It's a beautiful hotel with only 23 rooms, each room being slightly different. It has a tiny elevator, but since we were on the second floor, we only used it once. Our room was a junior suite, it had a small foyer with a double closet and table and chair, the bathroom and bedroom opened off of it. We had a fireplace in the bedroom and king size bed. First hotel that I've been in that had turn down service, bath robes and was triple sheeted.

We took the long way to the city and went to the Lancaster area first. We stopped at several fabric stores, only bought some batting and background fabric. Both are allowed purchases in my use it up program for the year. Also had lunch at Shady Maple restuarant.

Our room was in the section with the blue shutters, in the back. After we checked in we walked around, did some shopping and went to the park where we sat on a bench and watched the kids play in a fountain, dry, of course. Stayed out until early evening, then had wine at the hotel. Left late this morning, but before the St. Partick's Day parade.

Wonderful weekend, Thank you- Tom & Erin.
