Philly

Hurricane Irene about to make her debut!

While we wait for baby to make his debut into this world, Brad and I decided to take a quick trip to Philadelphia to see some of the historical sites. As you know, Hurricane Irene was headed this way, so we knew it needed to be a quick trip. We got downtown at 8:30 when everything opened and visited Independence Hall, where our country's first government was formed, the Declaration of Independence, as well as the Liberty Bell......can't forget the famous "Rocky" steps at the Philly Museum of Art. As we finished up around 11:30, the rains were definitely making their entrance, so we hurried back to the car in search of some yummy Philly cheese steak!

I have to admit...PA was a state that I never really thought about visiting. It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL here....the first few days it was cloudy and rainy, then we got the hurricane.... after the storm it has been clear, 80ish degrees during the day, 60ish at night and sunny. There are tall gorgeous trees everywhere.
