After walking what had to have been at least 5 miles yesterday, we got kind of a late start today. Once we got going, we headed towards Independence Hall. Since we were in Philadelphia and in need of sustenance, I just had to have a real authentic Philly cheesesteak. And there just happened to be a famous place right across from the parking meter we found called Sonny's Famous Steaks. I ordered up a "Classic"... a cheesesteak with Cheez Whiz and fried onions. It was absolutely delicious!
After lunch we walked a few blocks to check out Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. This kind of stuff has been especially interesting to me since I finished watching (and really enjoyed) the HBO John Adams mini-series right before the wedding. Before heading out of Philly, we just had to check out the Rocky statue. Ok, that was totally my idea but I dragged Denise along. We got our pictures with it too but I can't really upload it yet since we're once again without highspeed internet access. What is this? The 90s?! :)
Tonight we're once again looking out on the ocean from a top-floor room. This time we're at the Showboat Resort & Casino in Atlantic City, NJ.
