Boathouse Row in Philadelphia

It was a very nice day from what I remembered. It was around 65 degrees, just perfect to take a walk without a jacket and to relax. I thought about taking my son out to the park since the weather would be perfect for him.

My son is only about a month old, and we got ready to go to Boathouse Row in Philadelphia. It was a beautiful area. There were hundreds of people in the park jogging, sitting, and touring around. It was a great experience. I saw many happy faces, and my son was smiling a few times.

The ducks and geese there were waddling around the park also. I also saw older folk do some TaiChi together. I was very happy and satisfied that I got to also experience a couple using a bull-whip. I played with the bull-whip myself out of their request to join them. It was wonderful.

We met many smiling faces and Boathouse row is definitely one of the best places to be in Philadelphia. It is very clean, very friendly, and very fun to be around.

Boathouse Row nice in the evening too!
by: Paula

Thank you for the tip on the Boathouse Row! I haven't visited there myself, but read a bit about it, since I got curious. It sounds really nice also in the evening, with the houses being trimmed with light. I think most kids would love it!

It is also possible to rent bikes at Lloyd Hall, which is a public boat house. I haven't been able to find out if it is possible to rent bicycle seats for your kids - does anyone know? If that is possible, then that can be a great way to spend a day with a baby or child, who is old enough to ride a bicycle.
