The unblogged about day! Poor Philly! It was a great city. We definitely want to spend more time there!
We went into Philadelphia with Liz and family. We saw the US Mint, The US Supreme Court from 1791 - 1800 and the Liberty Bell. We also went to the Art Museum and allowed the kids to run up the steps like Rocky did! The plan was to visit Independence Hall, but they only allow 2500 visitors a day and oddly, the max visitors was achieved at Noon, so no visit for us.
The US Mint was cool. The kids were kind of bored. The highlight for them was seeing pennies being made. Sorry, the US Mint allows no photography. If you visit Philadelphia, make sure you see visit the Mint. It was a very informative self-guided tour and set up very nicely.
I can't even tell you how cool it was to see the Liberty Bell. For me it is way on the top of the list of things to do before I die! It was maginficent!
