Trip to Philly

We had to get away from camp for the day, and Brent keeps talking about how he hasn't been to Philly since we moved. So, since it's only a little over an hour away, we may a quick trip of it.

First, we went to see the historical Independence Hall. Since we aren't really history buffs, it was a quick stop.


Zander enjoyed looking at the bell, and probably would have gone under the railing to touch it if we would have let him.



We also lucked into seeing a Water Armonica, invented by Ben Franklin. Makes beautiful music, and the woman even played "Twinkle, Twinkle" for Zander.


Zander wanted to give a tip, but we didn't have any change.


And finally, what's Philly without a cheesesteak? However, Zander did not care for it.



Brent didn't have a problem.



Zander liked it better once it didn't look like a giant hot sandwich, but instead, meat on his snack tray.


Minus the traffic and tolls, we had a great trip. We were also reminded why we don't live in a city... wouldn't last more than an afternoon!
