Happy Friday!

What to do today. Hope you’re taking time to #OptOutside today. (I’ll likely be hiking a trail from one of my three PA hiking books as you read this.) As Tiffany shared earlier this week, Black Friday has a fascinating and dark history, thanks to Philadelphia.

What to do this weekend: River Alive opens at the Philadelphia Seaport Museum this weekend. Visit to discover the wonders and challenges of our regional waterways.  (Open 10 AM – 5 PM; 11 S. Columbus Blvd. Philadelphia, PA 19106)
