Sunday in Philiadelphia

We arrived in South Jersey Saturday noon and set up camp in a great little rural campground about 15 minutes from Philly. Sunday dawned clear and cool so we drove up to Cherry Hill and caught the train for downtown.


 
 




We started the day at the visitors center and then headed across the lawn to Constitution Hall for a short tour. The building housed the federal government from 1790 to 1800 while WDC was being built.










We saw the Liberty Bell and I got this shot of the bell with Constitution Hall in the background. A pretty neat place to visit.



















Another picture of the Liberty Bell. This place just reeks of history!










Just a little more history. This is the chamber of the house of representatives during the period of 1790 to 1800 when the federal government was seated in Constitution Hall.

We enjoyed our day in Philadelphia  and yesterday was a down day to do laundry and get groceries. Today we head to Valley Forge to look around. More from there.
