Greetings from the City of Brotherly Love!
I'm in Philly for the Music Library Association Annual Meeting for the week, but I drove up a few hours early to do some sight-seeing. Like a doofus, I left during rush hour, so the drive took me a wee bit longer than I might have liked and I disliked about 75% of the music my iPod wanted me to listen to, but it was still a good drive.
No visit to Philly is complete without a cheesesteak, so I made that my first, thanks to a recommendation from a Twitter friend. I can now agree - Campo's on Market Street is delicious.
So is Franklin Fountain. Nothing is better in 30 degree weather than a refreshing hot fudge sundae.
And how cute is this shop?
Of course, I said hi to the Liberty Bell.
And took a tour of Independence Hall.
It was all I could do not to break into a musical number and tell John to sit down.
Loving this city so far!

That city is definitely on my "want to visit someday" list. Looks like you're having a great visit thus far.
I'm not gonna lie, though -- I know it's "authentic" and all, but cheese-wiz on a philly cheese steak has never really appealed to me. I prefer good ol' provolone. :)
Ugh, that first photo is KILLING me. Seriously. You'll hear from my lawyer.
(I hope you have a GREAT time!!)
Now I'm hungry. You monster. :)
SO glad you got the whiz steak.
Jasmine - You should at least try it. Cheese Whiz isn't my favorite thing in the world, but this works. So good!
LittleBig/Heidi - Hehehehe.
DeShawn - So am I!
Several people on our tour of Independence Hall did break out in song. It was fun.
And I think I need a hot fudge sundae.
I think you do too. :)
