One of my favorite places in Philadelphia is the Franklin Institute. The science museum is fun to visit any time, but they have some great events throughout the year. We love their adults only “Science After Hours” in the evenings, and they also have one or two special exhibits during the year which are always […]
Other theme parks: Dorney Park
Those of us not fortunate enough to live in Florida or California can’t get to a Disney theme park all the time, but luckily there are other amusement and theme parks out there in the country! While of course none of them are Disney, there are still plenty of fun options. As a roller coaster […]
