Philadelphia

On Friday we woke up really early and drove to Philadelphia to see Aunt Kelly's friend, Kelly, and to pick up Janette, Uncle Ron's sister, from the airport. It took about two hours to drive there. Along the way we stopped to use the bathroom but somebody was taking forever in there. We got stuck in traffic and then we finally got into Philadelphia.

The first thing we did was see the Liberty Bell. According to tradition, its most famous ringing occurred on July 8, 1776 to summon citizens of Philadelphia for the reading of the Declaration of Independence.


This is us at liberty bell.

Then we left the exhibit and it started to rain just a little. We got in the car and drove to Aunt Kelly's friend Kelly's house. We had enchiladas for lunch. They tasted just like my Mommy's.

Then we went to the trolley to go to the zoo. The trolley was ghetto because I felt like I was going to get killed on it. We got to the zoo, which is the first zoo in America.


Look at those crazy kangaroos

The swan boats were my favorite.


This was before we got on the swan boats.


This picture is on Aunt Kelly and I riding the swan boat at the zoo. I loved it because you could control your own boat by peddling.


This is from before we left the zoo. That was a air balloon but we didn't get to ride it.

After the zoo we saw the Eastern State Penitentiary which is one of the most historic prisons in America. Over 100 prisoners escaped from there. We didn't go in the prison because it was closed.

Then we went back to Kelly's to get directions to Tony Luke's which is a cheesesteak place. It had really good cheesesteaks.

After dinner we got in the car and saw really big thunder and lightning. We went on the freeway to go see the movie "My Sister's Keeper." It was a sad movie.

After the movie we went to a diner and then went to pick up Janette from the airport.

The next day we went to Dutch Haven and a store called The Outhouse.


I became short!


This is in downtown Lancaster.


This is at five guys which is the In-N-Out of the east coast.
