Philly is literally going all out for Presidents' Day & Valentine's Day! I'm so down for some Disney magic at the Academy of Music 
, and The Franklin Institute's Universal Theme Parks exhibit sounds like an absolute blast! 
But what really caught my eye was the new "America's Founding" gallery opening on Friday 
- can't wait to dive into that! 
How about u? Got any fave events planned for the weekend? 
... don't get me wrong, beauty and the beast is a classic, but can we please talk about the xfinity mobile arena events? 1 night with brandi carile? that's it? and what's up with all the limited runs of ringling bros. circus? seems like they're trying to milk those old-school carnival vibes for all they're worth 
Beauty and the Beast on Broadway is going to be amazing 
, and I've heard great things about Brandi Carlile's concert 
. The Universal Theme Parks exhibition at The Franklin Institute sounds like so much fun too 
And don't even get me started on the Lunar New Year Parade in Chinatown - I'm totally there with my squad 
. Have you checked out Garden Glow yet? It's supposed to be stunning 
.
. But then I think about all these awesome events lined up and I'm like "no way, this is gonna be lit!" 
. Disney's Beauty and the Beast is a total game-changer - I mean, who doesn't love a good fairy tale? 
. And the Xfinity Mobile Arena has some sick acts coming through... Brandi Carlile is my jam 
. On the other hand, Ringling Bros. might be a bit too wild for me... I'm more of a chill vibe kinda person 
. Anyway, it's gonna be a wild ride in Philly this weekend, that's for sure! 
so its finally that time of year again, presidents day weekend! but i gotta say, philly is pulling out all the stops with these events 
. Guess we'll all be too distracted by Disney's Beauty and the Beast to notice 
.
But, like, what's with all the Valentine's Day vibes? Can't we celebrate love all year round? 
Anyway, I'm also super stoked for Brandi Carlile at Xfinity Mobile Arena - she's, like, my fave singer ever! 
I'm also planning to check out Garden Glow at Longwood Gardens - it sounds like, totally Instagrammable! 
What about you, what are your plans for the weekend? 
. And, if you're looking for something more chill, Small Living Things: The Magical Art of Eric Carle sounds like a great way to spend an afternoon 
.
.
and ringling Bros circus is back on our scene! 
but what i'm most hyped about is garden glow at longwood gardens, its like, who wouldn't wanna walk through glowing gardens all day? 
and btw, brandi carlie is performing live 
hows everyone planning on celebrating valentines day?
. Valentine's Day events are also looking sweet, especially the new "America's Founding" gallery at the National Constitution Center 
But I'm also hoping to squeeze in some small, low-key moments with my partner - maybe a romantic dinner or stroll through Garden Glow? 
️ Philly is gonna be lit on Presidents' Day! Beauty and the Beast is coming to town & I'm so down to get my Disney fix 
. On the other hand, I'm totally down for some thrills and excitement at the Xfinity Mobile Arena 
.
Visit Philly's free tours are a total game-changer. It's about time we celebrate our diverse heritage, you know?
.
I'll have to check out Ringling Bros. too... been a while since I've seen one.
