Philadelphia, PA - Home of Independence Hall, Ben Franklin’s Grave, and….some of the BEST food in the USA? You read that right! After a weekend trip to Philly this summer, I can safely say me and the hubby would love to re-visit the city. Not only was the weather to die for compared to that of Texas’ in the summer, but the people were so awesome to chat with, the food was amazing, and the vibrant pace of the city was infectious! Here are a few things we highly recommend, as well as some ~local recommendations from my sister-in-law.
