Philadelphia


We went to Philadelphia for a long weekend with my parents and siblings, and had such a fun time exploring the city.

We went on a US history tour and saw some really cool things:

We were able to go inside Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence was signed.











This is Carpenters Hall where the first Congress met:

This is the second Bank in the United States:


We saw where Betsy Ross lived and sewed the flag:

We went to the oldest continual residential alley in the United States:





We also went to the first Catholic Church where George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and more had assigned pews:


We went to "Jim's" to get the "best" Philly cheesesteak in town, and it was AMAZING!!



Then we headed to a Phillies game:







This little lady made it on the jumbo tron because she is so stinkin cute!!


We had to fit a bit of shopping in:

We went to Carlos' Bake Shop (aka Cake Boss) and it was absolutely worth it:




We had to check out the "Rocky" stairs:





We saw the LDS temple:


We went to "Love Park" and also saw the coolest city hall:




We went to dinner at the oldest Italian restaurant in the US called "Ralph's" and it was tasty:



Apparently my Mom and I had the same idea:


The coolest statue of George Washington:



We stayed at a bed and breakfast and had a blast playing games at night:

We also went to the Eastern State Penitentiary and it was nuts:
