Pennsylvania

Day 1: came a day early, but enterprise threw a hiccup in my trip to Philly. Slow start interrupted the sights I wanted to see, but got to do as much as I could. I was 12 minutes late and didn't get to see the Mint :( totally bummer. Got to see Ben Franklins grave, Independence Hall, the Constitution and the Liberty Bell though, all were awesome! Philly was a quick trip, but liked the city and definitely want to come back and explore some more. Saw the Boathouse Row on my way in, was slightly confused but when I was leaving the city and saw the row all lit up, it clicked and made sense. Checked out and cruised around the Reading Terminal Market which reminded me of Pike's Place in Seattle but different at the same time. I thought I found a great parking spot and was quietly surprised when I was forced to climb 6 stories and park on the roof which overlooked Market Street. Then. I had to take the Philly Cheese Steak Challenge and paid a visit to Geno's Steaks and Pat's King of Steaks. I know it was frowned upon to try both, but I had to. Prices were the same, both cost $9.50. Both were a great scene and something of an experience. I got the inside word from someone from Philly (shoutout Collin) and ordered 'One Whiz With' which is a Steak Cheese Steak with Wizz Cheese and Onions. I was not disappointed one bit. Every bite was wonderful and it was so worth it. I think I am on team Geno's. Overall both were solid, but I think Geno's had a little better of flavor - however, Pat's had more meat. #TeamGenos .

Boston aka BAAAAASTINNN

I peer out of the plane to see ice building up on the windows. Heard it was going to be cold, but didn't know what to expect. My first thought was, 'did I pack my heavy duty jacket?' Quickly deplaned and went searching for the Boston Public Transportation System and was greeted by Charlie. 

Lost this post 3 times now, so I am going to do bullet points. 
-Loved that it snowed 10 inches on Tuesday and the city of Boston didn't flinch or even consider canceling classes. 
-Great Seafood all over, I could definitely live in Boston and enjoy oysters, clams, crabs, and lobster often. 
-Love how the Boston is a big city but geographically not too big and easy to get around. 
-Fenway Park is awesome. Such cool history and great hidden secrets / gems that most don't know about the the Green Monstahhhh. 
-TD Garden was also rad, so many greats have played there it's unreal. 
-Harvard's business school is on Gordon Road 😉
-The Freedom trail was so much fun, loved cruising the tour and getting lost because the snow covered parts of the path. 
-Hunted all over Rhode Island and everywhere was closed so settled at an amazing place back in Boston for my fresh lobster. Yummers.    
-Really liked all of the boats and docks throughout Rhode Island!
