{Travel} Six The Musical & Philadelphia Magic Gardens

 We went back to Philly the following weekend after being there for the Punk Rock Flea Market.  We hopped on the train this time. Easy peasy!


I won the ticket lottery for Six the Musical and we decided to spend the night and make a weekend out of it.  
We used Marriott points to stay at the Residence Inn Center City. The location was fantastic and we had stunning city views.  We had a gorgeous corner room with a full kitchen and living space. It was huge! 
After checking in, we headed out to explore the city a bit.
We found this cute French bakery and cafe called J'aime. We tried this amazing merveilleux pastry.

We had dinner reservations at Vintage Wine Bar. We shared some small plates but this kale salad was all mine.

It was such a beautiful night in the city. It was still 80º at 6pm. We walked over to the Kimmel Center to pick up our tickets.
The show was fantastic. It's more like a concert. The talent was mind blowing and the show itself is a lot of fun.
I love my hotel coffee with a view.
After a quick breakfast in the hotel we checked out and stowed our bags with the hotel.   We walked over to the Philadelphia Magic Gardens.  I reserved our tickets through our local library. It's such a great resource for museum passes and activities.

You can read a little about the history of the gardens here.
We loved exploring this magical place.
I took so many photos and videos.
It truly was a magical space!
You can spend as long as you like exploring the gardens.  

I took a little video walk through.

Even the bathroom was a work of art!
The gardens are mostly outdoors so nice weather definitely helps. It didn't feel crowded even though there were plenty of other people walking around.  
Walking around the city, of course we see some Philly Phanatic art.
We stopped for lunch at El Vez.   We've been there before and always enjoy it.

One more walk around the city before we picked up our bags and caught the train home.  It was such a fun weekend!

WOW!!!
In my hometown of Phillips, Wisconsin we have something like the Magic Gardens, but on a much smaller scale.

Love your hat. :-)
