Philly in the Fall

Jared and I decided on a whim that we wanted to visit Philly. We talked about it in early October, but never solidified any plans. My sister is a Junior at Villanova, so our decision to visit historic Philly was also a great way to see my sister. We spent all day Saturday touring around the historic buildings of Philly (Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, Congress Hall (first pic), and tons of others). Jared loves guided tours, so we spent some money to have a guide. Of course we found a great cheese steak place for lunch, pictured above. We met up with my sister at Villanova later in the afternoon for a tour of campus and a chance to relax. The evening ended with a trip to the King of Prussia Mall, dinner, and Terror Behind the Walls, the haunted mansion at The Eastern State Penitentiary (definitely check it out...or at least google it)! The end result of a great weekend was a tired Sunday.

We are already planning our next visit during March (taking advantage of spring break). The next trip will definitely include the Rocky steps, more of the historic buildings (specifically going into them), and a day-time tour of the penitentiary. Is it spring yet?!
