Hanging Out In Philly - Part I

After a day devoted to taking Kano to the doctor, we had a day to kill. We had the day open in case additional procedures were required for Kano but none were, Praise The Lord! We slept in and caught up on some Zzzzzzs and then headed out the door to see the city. Here's a a little picture journal (one day I'll scrapbook it in real life).

You can't be in Philadelphia and not see historical stuff. Here's Gracie in front of Independence Hall where our Declaration of Independence was signed. Completely appropriate as we just finished U.S. History and are deep in the throws of American Government. This is homeschooling a highschool student at it's finest!






Here are a couple of pics from our visit to the Liberty Bell Center.




When we got close up, Gracie was like, "Is this is it? It doesn't even look real." ...Teenagers (Sigh)

Who says you can't travel with small children! Kano was a real trooper :)





Philly isn't Philly without cheesesteak(s)! This little place was on the side of the Liberty Bell Center. It was the best I've had in a long time.












Gracie was enthralled with the "mixed" look of Philly. Such a city atmosphere but with trees all over the place. Here's one of many pics that she took while making me stop in the middle of the street and shoot her.





And then...we stopped to eat...again...(ugh...that's another story for another post)

Me & Kano @ Johnny Rockets on South Street





Awww....Ain't he tweet?





We kept hearing that Philly was the place to get your hair straightened (both Gracie and I wear our hair natural). It was easy as finding a spot on Broad Street & walking in....







Gracie thought she was something with all that "moving & flowing" hair. The first thing she did when she got in the car was put herself in pixels.




Uh, more than once...



More pics soon and then maybe I'll get back to some meaningful posting :)
