Philly

On Saturday we drove a couple of hours east to Philadelphia. We were lucky to get a hotel room and a parking spot because the car show is going on at the Convention Center. Here is the tombstone of Benjamin Franklin and his common law wife, Deborah.

Edgar Allen Poe lived in 5 houses in Philadelphia but this one is the only one still standing. The girls earned their junior ranger badge here.

This is Betsy Ross' house across the street. We didn't have time to visit.

The liberty bell was much smaller than I expected.

Many statues adorn the area near Independence Hall.



Philadelphia is an interesting city.
