One of the main reasons Chris wanted to go to Philly? Fogo De Chao. Honest. We first tasted the Brazilian goodness known as Fogo when we were in Minneapolis. Since then, Chris hasn't been able to get it off his mind! There are none in NY and the closest one is in.. you guess it.. Philly!
Bassett's Ice Cream in Reading market .. oh mercy. Best banana ice cream EVER.
I am beginning to see a trend to this post.. FOOD!
Before we left we also wanted to go to the two the famous Philly Cheese Steak competitors Pats and Genos and see which was better. They are located across the street from each other and they were both really crowded.
We got one from each and took them to Rittenhouse Square for a taste test. The verdict?? PATS by a landslide. Their roll was soft, the meat juicy and perfectly shredded and the cheese oozing. BUT to tell you the truth, Chris got a cheesesteak from Reading Market the day before and said that was the best.
Our hotel was right downtown so naturally we walked everywhere. This isn't a big deal being from New York but we didn't want Charles to spend the whole trip in his stroller so we went to some parks and let him get his wiggles out. He loved the fountain at Washington Square
He thought the big bed was pretty fun too
Before we left for home we stopped in the park (with our cheesesteaks) to allow Charles to move around so that hopefully he would sleep in the car. Move around he did! He started to crawl! He had been working on this since we were in Minnesota and it all came together while in Philly. It was so fun to see his little hands and legs work together to move himself from one side of the blanket to the other. Way to go Charles! He was sure pleased with himself. Now, there is no stopping him and he's started pulling himself up on furniture and trying to 'cruise'. He definitely wants to GO.
