Well when you are a true parrot head (as Kevin and I are) you will follow Buffett anywhere and this year was no different. Although one day I hope to see him in a more tropical venue we made the trip to Philadelphia this year to see him! It was our 5th year running to see him in concert over the summer. We had a great time, as always. Making friends all around us and enjoying our favorite songs! This year I even brought a few props to help us get in the mood with our little tail gate! Haha It was a good thing too because the venue was literally in an industrial port.
We decided after the concert which happened to fall on our anniversary weekend that we would spend some time in Philadelphia and see the city. We had flown into the airport several times but never seen any parts of this historical city. We stayed in downtown, right by the courthouse. It was so pretty, it reminded me of a history book. There are lots of masonic and founding traditions still present in this town. We went to the zoo, and I must say it was eventful. Usually the animals are all sleeping, but we saw lots of activity that day, including two tigers fighting! That evening we went to a place called Capital Grill. Kevin and I both agreed it was the BEST (and this is hard for me being from Texas) Steak we have EVER HAD! WHEW, yep there I said it. Let me tell you this ribeye was bone-in, dry aged, and had a kona coffee rub on it, drizzled in shallot butter. Makes your mouth water huh! Yep ours too. Our server was so nice, after our delicious dinner we were so full, but he packed up a free desert for us to celebrate our 3 year anniversary!
The next day we went to the Museum (one of many) in Philly and walked around. Then we headed off to Geno’s Steaks. Its one of the first and most famous place to eat a Philly Cheese Steak, but after waiting in line for 45 min. I wish I would have got two of those puppies! They were very good! And a fun place to check off our list.
All in all it was a great weekend and a fun way to celebrate our Anniversary. 3 down…57 more to go. Haha for anyone who knows our inside jokes.
