Good evening from Philadelphia. Here's a picture of one of the turkeys that wander around this campground. Dinner anyone? We caught a break with the weather and it only rained on us in the morning yesterday. Today was perfect...in the low 80's with a breeze. We have been surrounded by history this entire trip so far. This was especially true as we entered Independence Hall and there was the chair George Washington sat in during the debates for independence. Of course we saw the Liberty Bell, Elfreth's Alley, Betsey Ross's house, Christ Church, City Tavern (where we had a fantastic lunch) and debated if we were going to run up the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum ala Rocky (not a chance!). Tomorrow we start heading north, but will first travel along River Road, which runs along the Delaware River and catch a little more history when we visit the site where G.W. and2,400 troops crossed the Delaware to capture the town of Trenton. Also going to look for the covered bridges that are all over Buck's County.

If anyone wants to see all the pictures of the vacation so far, just let me know and I will send you the link to Shutterfly.
