This was definitely one of those vacations that you needed a restful vacation from after returning home. We crammed a lot of activities and sightseeing into 2 days. We saw the Franklin Institute, the Academy of Natural Sciences, Eastern State Penitentiary, the Philadelphia Zoo and the Camden Aquarium. We ate at Davio's, took the Pat's versus Geno's Philly Cheesesteak Challenge, and in Chinatown. We took the Trolley/Bus Tour of the City. We walked from the Delaware to 17th street, all the way up Walnut and Market Street. I took Gizmo to the park a few times a day. We had a great time.
We all learned a lot too. We heard the legend of William Penn and building skyscrapers in the city. We were told why the statue of Lincoln had a pen in his right hand, while he was left handed, and why he faces South. The statue of George Washington was really on Washington's head placed on the body of another statue. We saw the statue of Rocky Balboa. And as much as we saw, there was still so much we did not see. I guess we will just have to go back.
