I have to first explain our adventure to Philly. My sister is the one who drove and she has a GPS (we call her carol) Carol gets lost every once in a while. It turns out she got lost in Cherry Hill, New Jersey (one of the most dangerous cities in the US) It was a bit concerning, but we made it out alive :)
Me in Cherry Hill (don't mind the travel hair action I have going on)
Philadelphia from the bridge.
The Liberty Bell!
Katie's and Brookes first taxi ride.
Independence Hall!
It was a bit cold and we were still in our church clothes...
Inside the hall. This was the room that the Declaration was signed (it was actually finished July 2nd not fourth. A random fun fact) and the Constitution was written. I was giddy with excitement being in the room. There was such a powerful feeling there. A sacred spot.
Our founding fathers had great taste in decore. Oh how I love colorful wood!
Another shot from inside the Hall.
Us and George Washington. There are statues all over the place in these parts.
I ran the Rocky stairs! It is on my bucketlist and something that was a must do while I was in Philly (who knows if I will ever make it back). We all ran up all the flights of the stairs (suprisingly). Don't mind my cheerleader looking pose at the top slash my pj bottoms. I did the circle run at the top. We all gave a shout out to Adriane while we were up there.
The statue itself.
The current city hall. I loved this building. Ridiculously pretty. It had statues of some of the Founding Fathers on top. Delightful!
Another main event was Pat's (one of the best philly cheese steak joints around). It was in a random part of town and was super crowded (a sign that it must be good)
Here is the sandwhich in all of its GLORY. The cheese is called cheesewiz and the locales have a special way of ordering (we were given the inside scoop of how to order which was nice) It was one of the most delicious sandwhiches I have ever tasted! Totally worth going out of our way for. Just thinking about it makes me a bit hungry!
Yay for philly! It was so amazing to go there. I have definitely have picked the right major. I love U.S. History!
