We took a weekend trip to Philadelphia since Wes hadn’t been in a long time and Shannon hadn’t ever gone. On Friday, we toured City Hall, which was very cool to see. We got to go up into the tower, right below a giant statue of William Penn, to get a great view of the city. We also toured the exhibit for the Liberty Bell. On Saturday, we saw more of the historic sites related to the founding of our country, including Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was drafted. We also took a Benjamin Franklin walking tour, which was very neat. On Saturday night, we took a ghost tour of the city. Our tour guide was great- the stories she shared were very historical and had a few ghost elements, but it was much more interesting than we expected. We ate at some great restaurants and had a relaxing long weekend overall.
