Philadelphia and Family

I got to spend last weekend touring Philadelphia with my family. We stayed with Uncle Dave and Aunt Mina and the very obliging Taylor and Lydia who let us stay in their rooms. I got Taylors room, it was the coolest. Arielle is convinced that Lydia's room is the coolest. We'll have to arm wrestle it out. Here is Taylor.
We saw all kinds of cool things on our trip, including....

the Liberty Bell,

the Rocky steps (Uncle Dave beat us all up them) ' This Quaker "Stake Center", where we also learned all about Quakers. Did you know you can pretty much be agnosticand still be Quaker? I didn't. This cool random elevator that went from the subway up onto the street. We felt like superheros.

The first house of the Senate and House of Republicans. We're supposed to look like we're deliberating here. I think we look like we're cussing Mom out.

Where Ben Franklin was buried (Arielle tried to throw a penny on his gravestone and it rolled and rolled and rolled... they must have argued in the pre-existence. Ah- an Arielle! We think she was just as scared of us as we were of her.
