City of Brotherly Love
We have planned to spend all of today in Philadelphia. Our plane landed at around 7am and we rented a car from Hertz (of course it was a Kia), and went straight over to Pat’s Kind of Steaks for a philly cheesesteak.
We were kinda disappointed from the sandwiches – apparently you need to get it with cheez-wiz for it to be really tasty but Jeff thought that was gross and got provolone cheese instead, which they didn’t even melt! Psh!!
We went to see the old courthouse where they argued over the declaration on independence and the articles of confederation. Also took a stroll past the Liberty Bell and Benjamin Franklin’s privy hole (where he pooped)!
Took a long walk over to the Franklin Institute and had fun playing with the interactive displays on hearts, physics, and sports to name a few. Fell asleep in the planetarium show because we took the red eye out and didn’t get much sleep.
Peggy made reservations for us at this restaurant on a boat called Mosholu. I forgot to take more photos, but Tom, Tim, Megan, Allie and her boyfriend Brandon made it to dinner with us. Very good food, but the service was kinda hoity-toity. 😉
Drove back to Peggy’s house with Megan in our rental car.. got lost using the GPS a few times but Jeff got to see a lot of things he remembered from growing up here like Wawas and Happy Harrys. We crashed out pretty much as soon as we got home since it was about 11 by this time. An eventful day!
