We have lived a little less than an hour outside of Philly for almost a year now but haven't gone. Today was beautiful and we have out-of-town guests that wanted to go so we made the trip.
This morning we got up early and went to downtown Philly - got tickets for Independence Hall, saw the Liberty Bell, Congress Hall and went to Reading Marketplace. Ate lunch at Delilahs (great fried chicken, mac and cheese and fried fish) and had Amish homemade donuts and fudge. Not a healthy meal but really good!!!
The marketplace was packed-couldn't hardly move.
Haven't seen that many panhandlers on the street of a downtown since I worked in Indianapolis. A little scary downtown walking-wouldn't want to be there later in the day.
Not really sure if I was that impressed with Philly but it was worth the trip. We will try to go to the Art museum and zoo in the future, but not sure if I will go downtown again.
I am glad we got to see the historical sites-very interesting and the guides were great with the National Park Service.
