Hayley's friend Leia invited us to come down to Delaware and spend a few nights with her, so we decided to take her up on that offer last week. So, we decided to head down there on Tuesday, and come back Thursday. Of course we didn't look at the weather until last minute, and yet again, rain was in our future! At least this time it wasn't freezing cold and rainy. We ordered some rain boots from target (since we've had such bad luck lately), but they didn't come in before we left. Just our luck!
The drive down wasn't too terrible. We did, however, take a wrong exit and drove through the Bronx. Is it Bronx, or "The" Bronx? Who cares, right? Anywho, we finally made it to Delaware, met up with Leia and her husband, and after about a 30 minutes deliberation, decided on an Italian restaurant for dinner. Of course the server had to ask where we were from (we get that almost everywhere we go). It was pretty good. I took my leftovers to go and left them on the table, then in Leia's car and finally at her apt. Apparently I really didn't want it. We stayed at a friend's across the street (we love free places to stay!). So after our long day of driving and late night dinner, we called it a night!

When we woke up the next time, we were happy to see that it hadn't started raining yet (I believe the forecast called for 80% chance of rain. But of course our hopes were shattered when it started raining one we got into Philadelphia. Parking was much easier than Boston, so we found great parking at the visitor's center. We started the day at the Liberty Bell, then to Independence Hall, next was Betsy Ross's house, followed by the US Mint, then Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, Lunch (philly cheese steaks) at Sonnie's steaks, then walking several blocks to City Hall, Macy's (largest department store in the country at it's opening), back to the car, driving to the Muter (pronounced Mooter) Museum, and finally ending at the Rocky Statue in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art (was that just one really long run-on sentence?).

So our trip to Delaware/Philly was fun, but also rainy! Why is it that it rains almost every trip we take. We never had to worry about that in Arizona or California! Now if it was snow, I wouldn't be complaining :) Anyway till next time
