A Day In Philly

Before starting off the rest of this blog... here are some "phlavors" from philly :-D

We started off eating breakfast in the Marriott Residence Inn (the hotel we stayed at during our stay in New Jersey - so yah, the breakfast photo is actually from NJ :).  A group of us planned on going to Philadelphia to do the following: Eat a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich, visit the Rocky steps, and check out the Liberty Bell.

We got our sandwiches at a place called Tony Lukes. They are popular for making delicious Philly Cheesesteaks. I really enjoyed my sandwich as well as the brownies pictured above.  We then headed off to Rita's Water Ice and I ordered a Mango mixed with Vanilla flavored italian ice.  It was soooo good! These places are a definite MUST when planning on going to the east coast!

Afterwards, we headed off to run up the Philadelphia Museum of Art (a.k.a. the Rocky Steps). Here's a picture of Ryan as well as some of us that got to the top first.

Here's my handsome Ryan :-D

Here are some of the others... Johnson I think is confused about which movie this place represented ;-P

We headed to check out the Liberty Bell as well as Independence Hall. A group shot of everyone is shown sitting on the grass in front of Independence Hall - the place where the Declaration of Independence as well as the Constitution of the US were signed.
