Spruce Street Harbor Park: Pop up Park

Hi, friends!

I hope you had a fun weekend- I sure did.   Friday was pretty basic- dinner, Shark tank, fall asleep on the couch #oldlady. But Saturday, SATURDAY was fun!

Like any good weekend, brunch was involved, and like any good meal, it was a Groupon!  Woohoo!  We love Groupon.  I found the Groupon on Friday, and when we were driving there Saturday, all we saw at the “location” were apartments and then we saw that the Groupon said “#A2” so we were all “….this is in someone’s apartment?”, but when we called, they said we had the wrong address.  All was well and we found the place and the food was decent and I love brunch with Russ.  The end.  And here is the link for Bernie’s Pub Groupon if you want a relatively inexpensive brunch.  Who doesn’t?DSC_0040DSC_0046 DSC_0051 Russ and I went to the Spruce Street Harbor Park with the Brunch Bunch, aka Ancy and Chris aka our favorite double date couple (hey, guys).  Luckily, the rain let up and made for a really nice & cool night- perfect for the beach?!DSC_0082 DSC_0053

Before Saturday, we hadn’t heard of this pop up park, but basically it’s a pop up beach/ park down at penny’s Landing off of South Street.  There are pretty lights, hammocks in the trees, food trucks, relatively cheap IPAs, beach chairs, picnic tables, and boardwalk games during the day.DSC_0060

I think my face just looks like that naturally.

(IDSC_0063 DSC_0068 DSC_0073 We got there around 10, got ourselves some brews (a PBC Walt Whit for me, and a Yard’s Brawler for Russ) found a table and sipped/ chatted/ had strangers take pictures of us.DSC_0093 DSC_0104 DSC_0107 DSC_0110 The walk home led us to the #BigChair…DSC_0149 DSC_0159 DSC_0161 And to WaWa for requisite WaWa Fest sandwiches for some pre-sleep fuel. Necessary.

In the morning, we walked past the Philadelphia Magic Garden and Russ told me to “Be a lion!”DSC_0180 DSC_0181…and then we had brunch (omelets made by Russ, toast made my yours truly.  Dad joined in on the fun, too)DSC_0186

Definitely a lot of fun and I really hope we have one more opportunity to get down there!   What did you do this weekend?
