I'm a huge fan of Colonial America, so Philly is definetely one of my favorite trips we have taken so far.  We parked pretty closed to the Torist Info center and paid a flat fee of 10 dollars for the whole day.  The first thing we decided to do was to take the Duck Tour.  It was the first time for Sammie and for me, Amy and Jenn had done it before.  The tour guide was "Betsy Rose", we all agreed on how good she was.  She gave us tons of fun, cool facts about Philly.  We locked out by doing taking this tour first.

We then headed to cemetery where Benjamin Franklin is buried.  Many other people who signed the Declaration of Independence are also buried in the same place.  It's a pretty unique experience I have to admit.

After that we all went to the Independence Hall.  It was such a cool feeling to be in the same place where the fathers of our nation signed the Declaration of Independence.  This building is just filled with history and patriotism.  To be able to be inside the first Supreme Court of America was just another amazing experience.
