Holy Sunday.

Katie and I spent a few, tired hours on Sunday morning, scrambling around to prepare for meetings with a few new shops. We eventually left Baltimore and headed north toward New York. A few car dances and a NJ Turnpike rest-stop meal later, we ended up in my favorite part of Brooklyn, Park Slope. I lived there 4 years ago and barely had time to recognize the place. After a quick swoop into Homebody, one of our favorite new boutiques, we jumped back in the car and headed to Philadelphia. Katie and I were both bummed that we didn't get to spend more time in Park Slope, as originally planned. It's such an awesome area, filled with eclectic people, unique restaurants, shops and art. The below picture on the left is a good one of the neighborhood.

We dashed down to Philly and ended up in Manayunk, one of the most inviting, urban towns that either of us had ever seen. The historic community is home to The Little Apple, another one of our new favorite shops that's now carrying Charms City Company products. It's lined with quaint shops and restaurants and is perfect for a nice stroll on a spring day. The below pic on the right shows one of the main street blocks in Manayunk.

I love Baltimore but have been wondering lately how I haven't yet lived in Philly, especially after visiting Rittenhouse Square a few months prior. I love the City of Brotherly Love.

The day was such  a whirlwind, it was hard to believe it had even happened by the time we got home. I highly recommend taking separate day trips to both Park Slope and Manayunk. They're both beautiful communities, with lots of charm and are ideal for a weekend getaway.
