To Philly or not to Philly… That is the question.

Last weekend, Kevin and I went to PA for a business trip. We both realized how great the timing was. A pre-Valentine’s Day adventure in Philly and basically a 4 day weekend!

Well, I have never been to Philly, so I was so excited planning all the things we would do while we were there. I looked up tours, had restaurant recommendations from Wes (our Chef friend), and was so excited to explore the city.

We were off on Thursday to prepare for the trip and we woke up late on Friday and drove to the hotel near where we had to work and we realized that we were nearly 40 minutes from Philly. Oops.

That night, it was snowing a lot and we decided to go to a restaurant down the street from where we were staying called The Drafting Room”.

 

Boy, we were in for a treat.

 

For our appetizers we got a triple brie and asparagus pastry topped in crab meat. We also got mussels in a tarragon cream sauce. Yes, it was as tasty as it sounds.

 

Exhausted from the day we went to bed when we got back to the hotel at 8pm and slept until around 8am the next day.

 

We woke up refreshed and ready for our busy work day which ended around 4pm.

 

By 4pm, the snow began to pick up. Kevin’s work said we could stay an extra night, but we missed our cat too much. Yes, it’s corny, but it’s true. So we headed home.

 

So, no Philly for us this time. Thankfully, we’ll be back in August!
