Philly!

In April Chad and I headed to Philly for a weekend get away. We could not have asked for better weather. It was in the low eighties with no humidity. Perfect!
We got into town early Saturday morning (6:15 a.m.), and picked up our rental car ready to explore Philly. As we were heading to our hotel, we missed a few "minor" turns and ended up in New Jersey. Being from California, where our state takes up most of the west coast, I was shocked. Apparently you cannot blink as you are driving on the east coast or you might land in a different state than you had intended.
Eventually we made it to our hotel, which was right across from the court house. The valet recommended that we go to "The Market" to get some coffee. I loved this place. It was in an old train terminal. There were rows and rows of stands where one could buy anything from coffee to ground beef, and obviously Philly Cheese steaks. We walked a few times because I was enthralled with all that was there. This is a picture of Chad debating what he would like for breakfast.
We spent all of Saturday walking around taking in all Philly has to offer. I was in awe of Philly, growing up in WC, I have never lived in a real city.
