Philadelphia Day #1

We had fun visiting Philadelphia this last weekend. We had initially planned to go with Tasha and her family as well but their plans had to change last minute so we weren't able to go to the temple as we had originally planned. We still had a great time in the "City of Brotherly Love" though!

We drove up Friday morning and went to the Franklin Institute. We spent over 5 hours there and loved it. It was very educational but in a fun way that all of us enjoyed.
One of their favorite parts was this giant heart that they could go up inside and they enjoyed racing through it several times.
The aviation area was a big hit too!




Of course no visit would be complete without a visit to see Benjamin Franklin himself!
The brain area was fascinating and we ended up staying there for over an hour. They kids enjoyed practicing their neuron traveling skills in this fun play area!
We headed over to our favorite eating place "The Reading Terminal Market" for dinner that night and then crashed in our hotel that was right across the street for a nice relaxing evening before heading out to do more city exploring the next morning.
