Day 2 - Philadelphia Freedom!!!

After a wonderful first nights sleep of the road trip, Andy, Emma, and myself caught the 10:16 train into the city. We went to the Reading Terminal Market and that's where Andy had his FIRST Philly Cheesesteak! He said it was delicious. Unlucky for us, the weather was very rainy in the morning and early afternoon. This of course was when we were doing the bulk of our site seeing.

Other than the Reading Terminal Market, we also went to see LOVE Park (nicked named this because of the iconic L-O-V-E attraction there), which is of course relevant to in the city of brotherly love. From there we headed towards the Philadelphia Art Museum where we did our only cardio-exercise for the day. Enjoy......

After we did the stairs, I was breathing a little harder and realized that my hypothesis about being out of shape was actually proved. Emma, Andy and I then went and walked around the Art Museum. I was thinking that I should have brought my 2nd grade watercolor art project with me because I could have sworn that there were many debatable 'works of art!' And my works of art would have definitely held up against some of the ones I saw in there. I mean, there is clearly a reason my mom had them stuck to the fridge all those years.

From there I made my first boo boo by hopping on the wrong bus outside of the Art Museum. I was in such a rush to catch the bus that Emma and Andy had no problems following me....or should I say keeping an eye on me. So we ended somewhere in West Philadelphia. I know what you're thinking. But sadly Will Smith had already left for California.

We eventually made it back to downtown and went to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.

Flash forward to the evening. Andy, Emma, and I all made Molly a spaghetti dinner with salad and garlic bread. It was very delicious if I don't say so myself. We had a great time spending the rest of the night around the table and playing cards. Molly has certainly made our time even greater in the Philadelphia area.

Who knows what crazy memories we'll bring from tomorrow? We sure don't!
