Christmas in Philadelphia

Instead of gifts for each other this year, Pat and I decided to New York for the day right before we left town for Christmas. There's nothing like walking around the city on a crisp winter day...seeing Rockefeller Center, the shop windows, hot chocolate. Unfortunately, we were outsmarted by mother nature and the day before we were scheduled to go, New York got a massive snowstorm. So, not wanting to waste a day with no school and no work, off to Philadelphia we went. Our first stop was the Philadelphia Art Museum, where we took in the great impressionist collection, and toured the modern art exhibit. We liked the prior...not as much the latter. Next stop was the "must do" while in Philly....cheesesteak. Instead of our usual stop on South Street, we decided to go native and head to South Philly to try a real cheesesteak at Ginos. Next time, we'll try Pat's and then we can cast our vote in the neverending Ginos vs. Pats battle.
