Matthew Monday: Father’s Day Adventure 2023, Philadelphia

This year’s Father’s Day adventure—an outing on Father’s Day my son and I have each year—was to go to Philadelphia, the Old Town Philadelphia of the founding fathers.  Philadelphia is about an hour and a half drive, which is not too much.  We left early, had a nice day, and found parking on the street which saved us some money.  We went to Independence Hall, where we got a couple of tours of the room where the Declaration of Independence was signed and a tour of the first Congressional rooms where the House and Senate debated and passed legislation while the final buildings were built in Washington D.C.

Here are some pictures.  First Independence Hall with a statue of George Washington.

 




Some pictures of the room where the Declaration of Independence was signed. 

 




And the Liberty Bell.

 




And we had Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches for lunch!  Delicious.  I should have took a picture of that.
