Spring Break Part 2

---------------------------------------THURSDAY---------------------------------------

STEPS: 16,907

Today we headed up towards NY, but first we had to stop in Philadelphia for some site seeing and a Philly sandwich. And man was it good!! Cheeze whiz and all!! The neighborhood we found this place in was a really rundown, sketchy area. Garbage was just blowing down the street, we passed what appeared to be homeless men pushing shopping carts down the road with all their belongings. I hate that people have to live that way but it was awesome to see the real true way of live for some Phillis.  

 

Right in the middle of Philadelphia we stopped at the Eastern state Penitentiary. Unfortunately it was already closed for the day, but we still got some great views of the castle like structure outside.

 

Independence Hall
 

Now when we watch National Treasure we can say we've been to most of the sites! haha

Liberty Bell

 

Just some more roaming around...We decided if we ever lived in Philly, we'd want to live on this side of town. So beautiful with cobblestone and brick sidewalks.

 

Some creepy guy we found in Philly. 

 

I could walk down some of these streets forever!!

 

That night we drove the rest of the way to our Hotel in New York, just three blocks away from Times Square! Because it was still kind of early Ethan and I dropped off our bags and headed to experience Times Square!! We made it on one of the big screens on the side of a building, watched the street performers, and even gave in to a local street artist. That I did not regret!!
