Philly

This weekend we took a trip to Philadelphia. It was john's Fathers Day gift. He wanted to go to the Philly Comic Con. Friday night we explored a little of Chinatown and has some scrumptious food. (however the many choices were overwhelming) John and the kids tried a variety of baked items that were all a little interesting.

Saturday Kenzie, Jackson and I went to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, and Ben Franklins burial place in the morning. I would have liked to spend more time in the historical areas, but it started pouring rain on us, and our plans were thwarted.

Our Hotel was right next door to the famous Reading Terminal Market. You can find just about any type of food you want there, so that is where we had Breakfast, and lunch. It is really kind of a cool place if you can get past all of the people.

Saturday afternoon, John took the boys back to the comic con for the kids costume contest. Jackson was Yoda again, and JT made a Mega Man costume (I'll have to post the other pics later, they are on a different camera) Jackson won 2nd place and JT won 3rd. I think a great time was had be all. Philly was nice, but we are happy to be back to our tine home town. We just aren't big city kind of people.
