Day 1- Philadelphia

We picked Kara and Ashley up at the airport this morning and then headed over to Philly to be authentic tourists. Despite living so close, I have never seen the Liberty Bell or any of the other traditional touristy spots. It was a great opportunity to see it with the girls. 

Here are some pictures of the day:




Christ Church Cemetery (Ben Franklin is buried at this site)
These are some interesting graves I found...




This is where one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence is buried, Francis Hopkins. At least 5 of the signers are buried at this site.
