We were in Philadelphia a month ago (my how time flies) and on the last morning, we checked out of the hotel, checked the bags, and went out for a walk. We had a 1:00 PM train back to Alexandria, Virginia (the nearest Amtrak station to home.) It was an odd time, like 10:30, a couple of places where closed, a couple of places were transitioning between breakfast and lunch. I spotted the Ritz Carlton Hotel and knew instantly, they will have a nice breakfast, it won't be cheap, but the food and service will be good. Hence this weeks Sunday Five.
