Philly, PA!

This Sunday, we took advantage of our 2 1/2 week stay in Delaware, and drove to Philadelphia since it was a lot closer. We hopped on a double decker tour bus to see the sites throughout the historical city.
We hopped off our bus to check the Constitution Center to find that you have to pay to get in! We decided it wasn't cool enough, so we just took pictures like this one outside the Mint, then caught another bus to continue our tour!
We couldn't go to Philadelphia without trying out the famous Philly Cheesesteaks!! They were so gooood. Aaron's sandwich was packed and ended up spilling out all over. Kinda gross.. Statue of Joan of Arc, from the tour bus
Here's me again on the bus before we took off, with the trolleys in the background.



I think this was the City Hall, I don't even remember but I thought it was so pretty. We hadn't realized Philadelphia held so much of our nation's history. We saw the Rocky statue and steps, Betsy Ross' house, the LOVE state, George Washingon statues, etc.
Little did we know that the Liberty Bell was this small!!
While on our tour, we took this random picture, and without planning or realizing it, we both made this cheesy face!! Haha

That looks like so much fun. Philadelphia is a pretty fun town. We got to visit there just for a couple of hours on our way to DC while we lived out there. The East Coast is awesome because there is so much to see out there! So much history. I love it.
