Thanks so much for the mushroom soup recipe. I love, love, love Longwood Gardens! Last Friday was the first time I've been there in the spring and I was in heaven. It was just glorious. Pictures and the diary of my day are here: http://www.megansminute.com/2007/05/the_lovely_long.html.

If you've never been to Longwood, treat yourself and go. You won't be sorry.

Thanks for the great ideas on day trips. We spend a good part of the Spring, Summer, and Fall in North Wildwood on 17th Avenue and have made the trip over to Lewes in the summer, but never in the Spring. Great idea! We'll have to try it this year. You didn't say, but I wonder what you find you like in Lewes in the Spring?

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your thoughtful comment. I haven't been in Philly for so long, I guess it's time I revisit. I remember Germantown (and Mount Airy) as very quaint, leafy, and charming. Hope they still have those qualities.

I appreciate your response to Day Tripper. Be sure to email your own travel stories and photos for our enhanced Travel section.

Sincerely,

Marjorie

Thanks, Marjorie, for this wonderful look at Millville. I especially like how you referenced Main Street Manayunk, which has become a world unto itself. But the reference to Germantown Ave is stretching it a bit. There's a lot of hope for G'town Ave, but it's not all realized. Sure, it's a lot better than it was a decade ago, but the velocity of change and the impact on the surrounding community is glacial compared to Main Street Manayunk. My wife and I have eaten at many new restaurants on Germantown Ave, but unlike Main Street Manayunk, the area doesn't invite you to take a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood afterwards. What's needed in Germantown to attract and keep crowds are the types of boutiques that line Main Street Manayunk.
