Philadelphia Phillies
We enjoyed the day in one of our favorite cities just 81 miles away. Took in a Phillies game at Citizens Bank Park and watched them sweep the San Diego Padres. Then a quick stop at Stateside Live! And Rittenhouse Square. Perfect day.l as a family. If you are in a family, find time to play together.
