Vacation

In the evening we headed to the Lincoln Financial Field stadium to watch English Premier team Newcastle play Aston Villa (and draw 3-3, so we watched a good amount of goals!); the stadium wasn’t too full which was good as we had chosen “fan zone” seats which turned out to be in an area where everyone stood for the whole game – so we moved (the final photo shows the Newcastle fan zone area from our different seats) …

After an overnight stop in Maryland (so we could check off that state) we returned to Philadelphia and into the city center; we decided that riding a “hop on hop off” open top bus would be the best way to see a lot of the city – and it was a great choice (though quite hot!); we also got off at “Love Park” (JFK Park) to get photos of the iconic sculpture …

A quick stop on our journey back to Philadelphia was the Baltimore Painted Ladies which were very pretty!
