Bridge. I wish I knew what the name of it was. It has a name and I know that I could easily find it out, but I care very little. So, here is the pretty blue bridge in Philadelphia.
The Constitution of the United States was signed under this beautiful backdrop. There is a certain revrance in this building.
I have noticed that chandeliers are back in fashion as of late. This chandelier is gorgeous and I love that it has candles in it.
Benson was so good on our trip. He didn't like the wind and cold of Philly, but he weathered well and we took him all over the place in his stroller. This is pre-surgery and his eyes are very crossed. I kind of miss this cross eye face.
After a long day of walking and eating cheesesteaks, Benson and Dad took a little rest in the hotel. I melt at the sight of this picture.
I wish I lived in a home like this in colonial times. I can just imagine my corseted, navy dress hanging over my wooden rocking chair as I make tiny stitches on my embroidery. And, of course there is no indoor plumbing and infrequent bathing so the smell would be bad, but a small price to pay for such fun!
The Liberty Bell. Outside of the Bell, we had to wait in line for a while to get in. Benson rode on Dad's shoulders and there was a group of Asian tourists with a million cameras in line with us. They thought the most interesting thing about their surrounding was an adorable baby sitting on his tall, handsome, red-headed Dad's shoulders giggling. Bryce and Benson were quite the attraction and Bryce did not love it. But I admit, I like it a little. It was funny how they snapped a million picture, congregated around us and spoke their speedy speech while grinning up at my two handsome fellas. 
No tub in the hotel room. Just a shower. Benson doesn't sleep well unless we follow his bedtime ritual of bath, bottle and then bed. So, he got to bathe in this tiny sink. He didn't love it, but I managed to get a smile out of the kiddo.
We've all heard of Pat and Geno's on the Food Network. Don't pretend you haven't. Anyway, Geno's is quite the sight. We didn't eat there, but I took a picture. Don't be worried, we did eat many a cheesesteak. Just not a Geno's steak.
The toilet paper was right in Benson's reach. He unrolled the whole thing almost. CUTE!
And my favorite of all of the pictures from our trip. Benson, in all his cross eyed glory, enjoying a break from the clouds to revel and smile at Mom in the sunshine. There are most Philly pics to come. Be very excited.
