Today is Day 17, and this morning we left New York to head towards Philadelphia
The drive to Philadelphia was very short drive, and the shortest for the entire trip. Click here http://pathtracks.com/users/27788/paths/117929 to view the actual route we took to get to Philadelphia. Click on hybrid to get a better view. Philadelphia has a lot of history. The city is beautiful. I love the architecture of the buildings, halls and landmarks. Below you will see we took the Independence Hall Tour, US MINT tour, United States Second Bank, which also has the Portrait Gallery, Franklin Court and Liberty Bell Center. We also got to see the original Emancipation Proclamation that was signed by Abraham Lincoln. No pictures are allowed to ensure the quality of the paper is reserved as much as possible.
Other Notable places to visit would be:Betsy Ross House, Mural Arts Tour, New Hall Military Museum. The weather was hot and humid when we went but it was well worth the visit.
Below you will also see many U.S. President Portraits with a paragraph or two of their description and accomplishments! If you are interested in history like I am, I would recommend reading all of it. It is extremely informative.
*Note: Pennsylvania is known as the "Keystone State"
Philadelphia Eagles Stadium
