Philly!

Mary and I had a great day in Philly!
The art museum in superb.  You can find everything from shaker furniture to the impressionist artists that I so love!

We couldn't do our 'Rocky' like run up the stairs because they had a stage set up for a concert and we didn't buy a Rocky shirt.  In fact neither of us has even seen the movies!  Are we the only people in America who haven't seen a single Rocky movie?

Betsy Ross Home

Liberty Bell

And for Mary a graduate of Benjamin Franklin International School....lots of Ben!

A list of his accomplishments - He was one talented, versatile guy!

This statue of Benjamin Franklin was made of keys donated by school children in Philadelphia.  The problem they didn't foresee was that children were so excited to donate a key to the project that they didn't ask permission before they took parent's keys.  I wonder how many car and house keys had to be replaced at home so that this statue of Ben could be created??

And for our NASA fan Scott, here is the flag flying at half staff by Independence Hall to honor Neil Armstrong!

And what better way to end our day in the 'City of Brotherly Love" than with a Philly-Cheesesteak sandwich!
