We now have a new, convenient cold-weather activity, the Independence Seaport Museum located at Penn's Landing! One morning a friend and I tried to visit the aquarium, but we learned that the ferries do not run in the winter! So, we made the best of the situation and visited this museum -- what a nice find! We examined boats of all sizes: some to admire from afar, and and some to climb in and on. Admission includes visits outside to the historic submarine (Becuna) (a bit difficult/scary to get around in carrying a 28+ pound toddler) and the Spanish-American War Cruiser (Olympia) (very cool). Admission is $12/adult (discount with AAA or WHYY) and kids under 2 are free. All in all, it was great to find a new (and educational) place to explore and the boys really loved the boats!
Very informative and enjoyable reports on varied destinations! Especially loved Paws Farm and of course the accompanying photos! Also, terrific tips on shopping finds.
