MaryKathryn & Brian
Things To Do
Energy Station
Should be renamed the "Braun Family Restaurant" any day now. It is a favorite Sunday-brunch place which they serve all day as well as the lunch and dinner fare. The staff are too familiar with the large family spilling out of several cars ready to order their favorite breakfast entrees. In case you would like to venture out get "The Perkasie" it will not disappoint!
The Broad Street Grind
As you may know, ANYTHING coffee related is an instant favorite of Brian and MaryKathryn. This local coffee shop (minutes from the church) has artisanal coffee and teas as well as various pastries, deserts, and snacks.
Bishop Estate Vineyard and Winery
It is an open winery with tastings, flights, live music, and food trucks. A truly wonderful time to hang out with good friends and even better wine!
Philadelphia Museum of Art
This is a locale that holds great meaning for the couple. They are both passionate about the arts and spent many childhood hours wondering these halls marveling at Mary Cassatt, Van Gough, Degas, and of course their seemingly endless array of armor.
Philadelphia Zoo
The oldest zoo in America and one of the places Brian has taken MaryKathryn on many dates. The tiger walk is always a family favorite.
National Constitution Center
Not only is this a center of national and Philadelphian pride, it is also the place Brian and MaryKathryn attended Brian's senior prom. It will always have special meaning to us for a multitude of reasons.
Independence Hall
This needs no explanation. Just an incredible testament to our country's founding. Wonderful tour guides lead you back in time to some of America's most profound moments.
Liberty Bell
Simply put, it is worth the trip!
King of Prussia
This is the third largest mall in the country. It features designer and department stores alike. On a Friday night you’ll see hundreds of people flock there for retail therapy, social events, and date nights. If you need anything at all this is the place to find it. It is a great place to check out while you’re in town!
Philadelphia Premium Outlets
Every Black Friday morning, like clock work, the Braun ladies venture out into the darkness to commence their yearly rituals. Some brave souls, like Brian, may join them. However, it is not a task for the faint of heart. Lauren has a schedule and a plan both of which must be kept to (but not until they’ve had their coffee). These outlets are an outdoor experience that offers a variety of shopping opportunities.
