On Saturday morning we had breakfast at our hotel and then got on a tour bus to explore the city of Philadelphia!
All the kids loved the novelty of riding on top of the bus for this tour!
We saw and heard all about this amazing city and enjoyed all the different sights and sounds of a busy city in the summertime.
A statue of George Washington...
"Rocky" outside the Museum of Art...
We got off during the tour to visit the Independence Seaport Museum. It wasn't quite as entertaining as the Franklin Institute but we still enjoyed it.
We really enjoyed exploring Harbor Park right outside the museum too. They had this giant chess set...
And some giant LEGOs too!
Our museum membership got us into explore the WWI ship "Olympia" as well as the "Becuda" submarine.
It was a lot of fun to explore, but we all left with no desire to be sailors!!
We came back to have lunch at the Reading Terminal Market again. It was packed this time though and it was hard to fully enjoy the experience. That place is a must-try though if your are ever in Philly. Right across the street from our hotel was the "American Numismatic Convention." We hit it right at the very end but the kids were able to collect some fun coins to add to their collection and also got some pictures on the $100,000 bill!
We headed home that evening, grateful for some fun family memories in Philadelphia!
