Went and did a few touristy things while visiting Philly. Saw the Liberty Bell...
and over to Independence Hall where all those men sat in that room many moons ago drawing up our national constitution. I thought our tour guide was great. We toured with a field trip group of 6th graders ( I believe) Did you know that we have the oldest, continuously used constituiton? Or that THIRTY-NINE men signed it. I would have said 5- Washington, Franklin, Adams, Hamilton, and Jefferson. Ok so I knew more than that, but those are pretty much the names that I remember
Of course, while touring around Philly and learning about this great nation's history we also had to go to the Philadelphia Museum of Art for a look at another piece of American Legacy. The Rocky Stairs!!!
This next photo is looking out from the top of the stairs.
Honestly, I was not too impressed with this city, but I'm sure there are probably some parts of it that I just didn't make it to. I will definitely have to give it a second chance at some point.
