the grand 'hickon

We moved to Philadelphia this past year for a variety of reasons; we wanted to try out a new city, preferably somewhere on the East Coast, I loved living here in college, and my best friend is a resident (pretty high on my 'Reasons to Live Somewhere' list).



Philadelphia has exceeded our every expectation. One of the most welcome surprises of the city has been our access to the great outdoors. Although we're technically in city limits, our neighborhood borders Carpenter's Woods (the home to an incredible group of resident and migratory birds) and the Wissahickon Creek (has a real cult following.. no really, read the history).

I don't think people say this enough, but it's really beautiful here in Philly...
