DC Trip Update: Day 5

On Day 5, we said goodbye to Washington DC and moved on to Philadelphia.  In our one day of touring around this historic city, we saw many places that are very significant historically.
We met our Philadelphia tour guide, who was dressed in traditional 18th century clothing.
We stopped by Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were made.
We stopped by a print shop as it would have looked in Benjamin Franklin's time.
We got a surprise stop at a museum where we saw some 18th century clothing and their way of life.
We had a quick stop at Betsy Ross's house, the original maker of the American flag.
We went to the Constitution Center and had fun with the hall of statues honoring every member of the Constitutional Convention.
We saw the Liberty Bell and posed for a picture.
We stopped at Benjamin Franklin's grave and did the traditional "flipping of coin" to leave with Ben.
Our last stop was the Philadelphia Museum of Art, better known as the "Rocky Steps."
Even the parents ran up the steps like the Italian Stallion.

Next, we head off to New York City!!!
