Philadelphia

A few weeks ago we went to Philadelphia to hang out with Chad since he had to be there for 2 weeks on training for work. We didn't have the best weather but it was still a blast. We stayed downtown at the Crown Plaza a few blocks from Chad's hotel. Our first night there Chad took us to this fun restaurant with amazing
thin crust pizzas and huge salads! Really great place.

We stopped at a farmer's market and this cute Amish couple had the most beautiful vegetables ever! I totally dig this guy's beard.

I loved the downtown Philadelphia. The architecture of the city is amazing. A lot of very gothic buildings with a little mixture of modern. Just beautiful.

See the plastic cover for the stroller? Best 12 bucks even spent in my life!

Max, of course, didn't seem too interested in the Liberty Bell but we made sure to get a picture of him close to it. What surprised me later that day was when we were in the elevator of our hotel, Max saw the little bell next to the alarm button and then said "That's like the bell we saw. It was broken!" And now every time we see any bell he will mention the broken bell he saw.

Bobby Flay did a throwdown with the owner of this place and lost. The philly cheese was good but sadly they're not my favorite.

On our way out we had to at see the Rocky statue. Since we had tired kids in the car we didn't get out and just took a picture from our car.
