One of the 12 remaining covered bridges in Bucks County, PA, located in Solebury Township less than…read morea mile from the Mighty Delaware River, Van Sant at 86 feet in length is one of the shorter representatives of the age of horse & buggy romanticism that still has deep roots in the region. It sits behind Bowman Tower and crosses Pidcock Creek not far from Washington Crossing Historic Park and the Wildflower Preserve. If you love a drive in the rolling countryside, this must be one of your destinations. It was built in 1875, stands 12 feet high, with a roadbed 15 feet wide. The lattice construction lacked arches or even supporting upright beams, but was strong enough to allow for a span 200' long. The roof protected the wood from wear and required less maintenance than an open crossing exposed to the elements. Of course, the nickname, "kissing bridge," had some currency as well. Only a few miles from the river town of New Hope, a quick detour off River Road allows for a beautiful look at local history on the way to a longer stop at one of the many excellent restaurants right up the road. Or, if time is no object, a weekend stay at a cozy bed & breakfast that are sprinkled throughout this part of the Delaware River Valley.

There's so much cool stuff within the city limits that I've committed to trying to explore…read moresomething new (to me) every week. Recently that meant exploring the trolley trails in west Fairmount Park and finding the stone spiral arch bridge. In the early 1900s, a scene trolley took people through the woods. Nature has reclaimed the trolley paths, but in recent years they have been converted into miles of hiking trails. It's not crowded--I only saw 4 other people, mountain bikers, on my visit. It's a great place to explore. It's shaded so the walk was cool. It's pretty level so the hike is easy. And if you know where to go, you can find this beautiful bridge that looks like a brick spiral. The years have taken a toll, so I wonder how much longer we'll get to enjoy it. It's cool to think that in the past so much work was put into creating a beautiful structure that really just needed to serve a simple function. Don't have time for a long hike? You can get to the bridge quickly by entering the trail from Chamounix Mansion. Park by the equestrian building and head in. It's probably less than a 1/2 mile walk to the bridge.

It is an old bridge that leads to nowhere because it is no longer being used. It is surrounded by a forest, and kind of hard to find. The best way to find it is to stay at Chamounix Mansion, and follow the trail behind the trees. It's worth checking out if you like to post on Instagram, and finding hidden gems that are off the beaten path.

We've been to Philadelphia quite a few times, but we have always seemed to miss this cute little neighborhood. Today, I got the pleasure of exploring this pocket of Philly enjoyed by tourists and natives alike. South Street is coined the most hipster street in Philly, and I completely agree. It's filled with famous restaurants, cute stores, and beautiful art on every corner. The entire area is covered in murals and mosaics in every crevice, making it very unique. There's photo ops to take advantage of everywhere, and I could explore for hours. Also, it's home to the famous Philadelphia Magic Garden. I highly recommend checking South Street out on your next trip to the city, because it's a local gem. I'm disappointed I didn't see this underrated neighborhood on my previous trips to Philly, because I have absolutely fallen in love with its good vibes and one of a kind beauty. See you soon, South Street!

Years ago, when I worked nearby, I'd stop in for a moment of calm on my lunch hour. It's a soothing, romantic image and truly an historic art treasure in the city.

The end result is the perfect seasonal parklet that's perfectly fitting in the time of East Passyunk's restaurant renaissance, and you'll almost always see a few South Philly characters taking it all in.

The rides are always fun, with large and small Ferris wheels, the Pharoh's fury (swinging ship), the Gravitron, swings, a giant slide, the Merry-Go-Round, etc. In recent years, they've replaced all of the upside down rides that used to be there, such as the Zipper and Spin Out (much to my disappointment). Lines are much better on weekdays, and tickets are half price if you buy them during the pre-sale. There's plenty of food to eat, such as panzarottis (giant pizza rolls), burgers, dogs, fries, pizza, etc. There's an Italian night and a Polish night too, where foods from these countries are featured. There's so much to do, and if nothing else, it's always fun to people watch here too!
