{Field Trip} John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge

We didn't have plans on Easter and decided to visit another spot on our list.


The John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge was another place that we'd always wanted to check out.   

I had no idea what to expect but it was a fantastic place to walk around and enjoy the wildlife.
It was such a peaceful oasis from the city.

The swans were loving it too.
There are different paths you can take around the refuge.  From this point you can see the Philadelphia Airport.

Stopping for a selfie along the way.
We did see a bald eagle but this is not one(we weren't close enough for a  good photo).  

Sunbathing turtles.
There were lots of places to get closer  to the wildlife and observe them. We saw a few photographers with huge cameras.  They probably got some eagle shots!
Another observation spot.  We ended up walking over 4 miles and were ready for some lunch after that.
We drove into Philly and had lunch here.  It was such a cool place and had lots of outdoor dining areas.
We walked around the neighborhood after lunch and saw lots of places we'd like to try next time.  It was a perfect day trip!

Heather, what a nice way to spend Easter visiting the wildlife refuge and a nice lunch out in Philly. I enjoyed looking at the photos and the turtles looked so cute and same for you and hubby.

I love swans. We have some living here. We see them when we do our river walk.
