Day 22 Philadelphia

A second great day in Philadelphia!  The weather started out gray and windy but ended up blue and beautiful.  We went to the National Constitution Museum this morning and enjoyed their special exhibit entitled The Art of the American Soldier.  It was amazing!  Such talent and dedication as well as bravery on the part of the artists.  (Justin Manning, if you are ever close to this exhibit you NEED to see it.  I thought of you and your amazing talent all morning.)

We enjoyed a great lunch at The Reading Market.  It is very similar to the Pike Place Market in Seattle and the Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Boston.  There must have been 30 to 40 places to choose from.   Tough to choose, but we managed.  They have great cookies too!

After lunch we walked to Antiques Row.  Fun places to look at, but nothing I couldn't live without.

We ate dinner at the Hard Rock, one of our favorite places if they have one in the city we are visiting.  Nothing compares with the very first one in London, but all are great.   On to Williamsburg Virginia tomorrow.
