Trip to the City

We decided to take the kiddies for a quick, chilly trip into Philly. It was amazing what we did in just three hours! At first, the kiddies were anticipating the train ride and talked about it all week long (that was the real motivation for planning the trip!) But as we looked at photos and talked about the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and Betsy Ross's flag during the week, Owen frequently talked about seeing them, too!

Ready for the adventure...we took the second train of the morning.

Enjoying the ride!

The kiddies really enjoyed the cobblestone streets. "Bumpies"


The Second Bank of the United States



Owen really wanted to walk to see the Betsy Ross House even though we knew it wasn't open.
