The hot and disgustingly humid weather has been replaced with a nice, crisp cool breeze, meaning that summer is on its way out and fall is coming.

We know your more upset than a little kid that just dropped his ice-cream cone, but don't worry; you still have some time to soak in the sun, despite the diminishing daylight.

Spruce Street Harbor Park, open until September 28, is the perfect place for you to say so long to summer and hello to fall. Mosey down the boardwalk to do some people watching or chill out for the night at the urban beach. Take a stroll through the lily pad gardens or nestle into the nets that suspend you over the water (just don't squirm around too much; you don't want to take a dip in the Delaware).

If you're looking for a little friendly (or not so friendly) competition, play the games on the boardwalk and check out the concession stand for a little pick me up. If you work up an appetite beating your buds, try the Blue Anchor Bar for a burger and beer.

Go ahead, say your final goodbye to summer (just remember the tissues).
