A National Treasure
Our first night, in Hershey, we stayed up to watch National Treasure. We wanted to remember what parts of Philadelphia were in the movie so we could try and see those parts when we were there. When we finally arrived Saturday, we realized there is so much American history within just a few blocks. We just scratched the surface, I think.
We visited the Liberty Bell, the Betsy Ross house, a Free Quaker meeting house, saw Benjamin Franklin's grave, and toured part of Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence was signed. As always, it was interesting to hear about some of the events in history that formed our nation.
We thought we'd better try some Philly Cheese Steaks in Philly so we did.
I've never had one before, so I had nothing to compare it to but it was very tasty.
Soon after our brisk Philadelphia tour, we headed home...
