The brief stop in Philadelphia was quite short, so mom and I arranged to have day in the city together.  I was also restaurant week, so a good opportunity to try new places.  We ended up choosing Le Cirque — beautiful place, fantastic service, but the food was not mindblowing (although the creme brulee was one of the lightest I have had).  Afterwards we went up to the Guggenheim.  A great exhibition on James Turrell who explores the art of light and perception.  Definitely worth going.  A quick bit of shopping, and we had mom to the train right on time to make it home to prepare dad’s dinner.   A great day.
