An impromptu visit to downtown Phili since it was a beautiful day and a little too cool to visit the pool on opening day. We surprised the kids with a train trip, a trip to China(town) which included some fun knick knack stores remarkably like the “real thing” and an amazing lunch, and a visit to Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. Beautiful day and a fun outing. We’re beat!

The gate into Chinatown. That’s us in the lower lefthand corner.
Admiring a man’s craft–making characters out of clay that were attached to chopsticks. He didn’t speak English, only held up 5 fingers to indicate how much they cost.

Posing in front of the Liberty Bell. 3 out of 4 kids isn’t bad.

What a fun trip ;) I think your oldest three kids do AWESOME at looking at the camera – Lydia, baby, we need to work on ya! lol!!!
We have been trying for months to get ourselves down to Chinatown for a day visit. Problem is? The Boss works in the city everyday and he’s a homebody at heart. So traveling into the city when he could be puttering around home is soo much more than he can think about some (most) days! But we’re getting there. I think we might even play hooky on a Sunday when he’s working from home on a Monday, so it doesn’t feel too close to doing it for work too.
