We arrived in Philly around 12:00pm Eastern time. We checked into our hotel and then began our sightseeing adventures. First stop: eating a Philly Cheesesteak. Let me just say, DELICIOUS!!!
Then on to the historic part of Philly. Check out the pictures.
Independence Hall from a distance. We are actually visiting it tomorrow for a tour.
Benjamin Franklin's tombstone. People come by and throw pennies and other coins on it daily. As he would say, "A penny saved, is a penny earned." The tour guide at the cemetery said they collect $3000 or so a year just in coins collected from his tombstone. Not to mention they charge $1 for student admission and $2 for adult admission just to walk around the cemetery. Crazy!
Entrance to Christ Church Burial Ground
A view of the burial ground.
Statue of Benjamin Franklin made entirely of keys!
Close up view!
We also went by Christ Church and Betsy Ross' house, but they closed at 5:00pm, so we are planning on going back tomorrow.
Tonight we are going to the Lights of Liberty tour! It should be really cool.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's post!
