Moved to Philly in my early 20s for the bike ability, now in my early 40s as a parent of 3 under 10 not much has changed. We bike everywhere and having an entire city at your fingertips is giving our kids an experience that’s tough to match. Art, Theatre, restaurants, museums, concerts, sports, festivals, zoo, aquarium, even nature… Always imagined moving the fam to the burbs but now can’t imagine ever giving this life up.

I think my ideal day would be to wake up early and go birding at John Heinz NWR near the airport, drive home and take the bus to the art museum area and get some lunch at a cafe like maybe Sabrina's, then hit up the Franklin Institute or Academy of Natural Sciences and spend the afternoon there. In the evening see a concert at Union Transfer or Underground Arts and then some drinks at Prohibition Taproom or Yards or something like that. But I also love walking the trails in Wissahickon or biking along Kelly Drive, or going to the zoo, or kicking a ball around at Lemon Hill. On a nice weather day there can be so much to do.
