    Fifty New Things From the Year I Turned Fifty

    July 16, 2019 /

    Last year was the year I turned fifty. Just saying that is both liberating and a bit scary. I come from a long line of women who didn’t EVER discuss their age. So, neither did I for most of my adult life. There was a time when I was so incredibly ill with Crohn’s Disease, an inflammatory bowel disease that is incurable, that I was very certain I wouldn’t live past 40. And then 40 came and went and 41, 42, 43 and so on and I was still here. Huh. Imagine that. A Bit of History The Internet didn’t exist when I was at my sickest ever with acute…

    Just Try to Be Bored in Philadelphia’s Historic Waterfront District

    September 4, 2018 /

    It’s impossible to be bored in Philadelphia’s Historic Waterfront District. That’s the verdict from my youngest daughter after we returned home from a four day visit to Philadelphia. History lessons, outdoor spaces, public art, good food, and learning experiences are around every corner and we were both amazed at how family friendly Philly’s museums and attractions are. This is a city meant to be explored. This summer Ainsley and I headed to Philadelphia for a mother daughter trip. We spent our first day exploring Philadelphia’s Historic Waterfront District and it was a treat.   After checking in at the Wyndham Historic District hotel, we immediately went for a walk down…

    Eastern State Penitentiary Tour Philadelphia – Where the Walls Talk

    August 21, 2018 /

    Our trip to Philadelphia was sponsored by Visit Philly and we were hosted while in Philadelphia. My opinion is truthful.  If only walls could talk. Well, actually at Eastern State Penitentiary, the world’s first and most historic penitentiary, they do. Numerous multi-media and art installations, coupled with a brilliant audio tour, make history come to life giving walls a voice inside this historical Philadelphia landmark. During a recent mother daughter trip to Philadelphia we had an extra day to explore. When flights are cancelled last minute what do you do? Well, you explore more of the history in this rich city. And you jump at the chance to take the Eastern…

    Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District – Comfort and Value

    August 14, 2018 /

    Our trip to Philadelphia was sponsored by Visit Philly and we were hosted while in Philadelphia. Accommodations, flights, meals and attractions were covered. My opinion is truthful and all my own. Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District offers a hotel experience that’s affordable and convenient. When it comes to hotels and family travel comfort, location and affordability are the trifecta of travel planning. Sticking to a budget can be important because feeding four and five people, and paying for their flights gets costly. So, you need to look at generating savings where possible. My daughter and I recently took a 4-night long mother-daughter trip to Philadelphia, and our home base for four nights…
