Philly Night 1

After all of our traveling was complete, we finally were in Philly. We checked into our hotel and asked the front desk staff what the easiest way to get down to the Wells Fargo Center. Can you guess their response? Subway.

The hubs and I quickly freshened up and made our way tot he Broadway stop on the Orange Line, where we made our way to the sports complex. Even though we were in another form of public transportation, we were excited to be en route to see some hockey.

When we got off the subway, it was quite a site. You could see the Spectrum, Citizen Bank ParkLincoln Financial Field and the Wells Fargo Center, although it's very hard to capture in one photo.

Time for some Flyers hockey.

When we arrived we found out that the Flyers were honoring the late great Barry Ashbee by giving his family the old banner that once hung in the Spectrum.

The graphics were pretty cool, but they were no United Center.

We enjoyed watching a win, a few good fights and seeing a new arena.


By the time we made our way back to the hotel, we were pooped, but we had to take a minute to participate in the post game victory dance that are plastered to the ground throughout the subway stop.
