Perfect day in Philadelphia

Videos
OK so there are a lot of pictures, sorry. But I couldn't pick, plus there were lots more that I didn't use. WE went down to Philadelphia on Saturday. The day started with cheese steaks at PAt's! Then to Betsy Ross's house where Dominic got to be part of the act and learn how to fence. Lots of fun, watch the videos. Then down to the main historic area. There were people dressed up, booths (where I won a t-shirt and the boys won transformers) , food and lots of fun. Then to see the liberty bell. Off to Franklin Park. It had a water fountain, play stuff and for the summer some sand sculptures. We began to walk back to our car the get blanks etc for the fireworks. We got a little lost and went down Elfreth's Alley. Wonderful accident. (More info. below.) To the Fireworks we went. The area were the concert and firework was crowded and on cement. On the way there we saw a park. So per Jonathan's sejetion we went back to the park instead. Pizza and the boys running and play made it the perfect spot. We even heard Shakakan from where we were. The firework we great and lots of them. Then back to the car where we thought we would be stuck in traffic for hours. Not so 10 min. and we were on our way home. We decided it was the perfect day in Philly! Where's Dominic?

Elfreth's Alley is a National Historic Landmark. It is the oldest continually inhabited street in the United States. Many of the Alley's 33 houses were built prior to our nation's birth, some dating back to 1702. Most of the homes remain private residences today.
So cute!
Jonathan and Dominic down another part of the alley!

Not the greatest of Jonathan, but look at that house.

Looks like a very fun day! It never occurred to me to go there this time of year - what a great idea. We'll have to try that next summer when Ethan's a little older and can appreciate all the fun activities!
