A Weekend of Firsts in Philadelphia

four jam-packed days and a whole lot of books!

Hello there! Happy Tuesday!

Well, I made it home from Philadelphia on Sunday night, and am heading out again on Wednesday for my annual sibling gathering in northern Wisconsin ~ summer fun doesn’t stop!

I’m excited to share about my trip to Philadelphia today ~ it was hard to put it together, though, because really I just want to sit down and tell you all the things about all the things and show you all the pictures … and well, you certainly don’t have time for that! So, I’m paring it down to the highlights and vibes … which is perhaps what this entire publication should actually be called? Those highlights and vibes are STILL long, though!

Today’s newsletter is they kind that is only possible because of my paid subscribers ~ these travel accounts take me a LONG time (4-5 hours) and I love sharing, but can’t do it as just a hobby.
