Allen took his staff to Philadelphia for the annual AAO meeting. It was a great city that we enjoyed for a long weekend. First, there was the history:
Independence Hall was impressive. We really enjoyed hearing about how history was made when those brave men signed the Declaration of Independence-so inspiring. The Liberty Bell was not as big as we expected, but still neat to see.
Second there was the food:
We went out the first night to find the "best philly cheese steak sandwich". It wasn't so good. A little dry and plain for my taste. We ate breakfast every morning at the old Reading Railroad (yes, from Monopoly) that is now a huge market of yummy foods like smoothies and juices, crepes, ice cream and a few Amish restaurants that were very yummy. One had an apple dumpling that melted in your mouth, another had doughnuts that yes, melted in your mouth.
Third there was Rocky and Love:
So funny, at any given time you could see 2-4 middle aged men running up these steps with their wives in tow taking pictures. But you have to do it, right? Well, Allen had to.
The Love sign was also much smaller than we expected. But it made for a cute picture.
