Philadelphia! After exploring much of the rest of the east coast we finally got around to exploring our own backyard of Philadelphia. We met up with Charles' coworker, Doug, who we have done other things with in the past.
We visited Independence Hall. We had to wait around until we could go in for our tour.
It was very interesting and neat to see.
It was fairly awe inspiring to be where the founding fathers of our nation began the whole thing.
Here it is from the outside.
This is the 2nd Bank of the United States.
I don't remember what building this is, sorry.
We ate at the City Tavern. I had rabbit. It kind of reminded me of the Lion House where I used to work, especially the fact that the staff had to dress up.
We went and saw Penn's Landing on the Delaware River. The boys' favorite part was chasing the pigeons. It began to rain and didn't let up for a few hours. We hopped on the subway and hoped the rain wouldn't last too long.
It just kept raining and so the camera stayed in the backpack. We went to see the construction of the Philadelphia Temple. We stopped at the little temporary Visitor Center. We stopped at Doug's apartment to dry off a little from the downpour of rain. The boys loved running around and Elizabeth decided she wanted to join in and scream whenever the boys screamed. We then went to the Catholic Basilica where Doug goes to church. We attended Mass which was a little hard with three tired, cranky kiddos; but it was interesting. It was a fun trip and there is a lot more that we want to see still.

It just seems right that Charles would have a friend named Doug! :o)
