The Academy of Natural Science was one of our recent destinations. I love dinosaur fossils, and theirs were no exception. Many of the skeletons had huge teeth making me glad they were extinct. They also had a visiting display of the hair of former Presidents (including Jefferson and Adams) which made me marvel at the things some people collect.
The Philadelphia Flower Show was our destination on Saturday. Filling the convention center, it was well attended. They had a Louisiana theme, so we were familiar with many of the flowers, shrubs, and trees (such as daffodils, azaleas, camellias, and dogwoods). They had beautiful displays, but my better half had as nice a display in the garden at our Atlanta home.
We ate at the Reading Terminal Market, which is filled with shops and restaurants and conveniently located across the street from the convention center. The best food was a slice of double chocolate triple layer cake from a Mennonite bakery. I'm already planning a return trip for another slice!

Glad to get a first hand account of the Philadelphia Flower Show. Always want to attend, but no luck. I agree with you about sometimes being able to create garden displays at home that rival the big shows. Best to go looking for new ideas that you can transplant to your own landscape.
Will your better half be able to plant a garden at your new home or will it be strictly containers on terrace? That's not half bad actually--containers are a great way to garden.
If there's any Irish running through your veins, have a great St. Pat's Day tomorrow.
I'm sure you were relieved to be out of Atlanta over the weekend with the tornado. Heard from an Atlanta blogger who was in the middle of all of it, but escaped unharmed.
