Karlin and I practically have to travel for our job everywhere we go. So, it is a treat for us when we actually get to travel for fun, and about two months ago we made the decision that we would love to see Philly in the fall.
We packed up the car and went with route 3 (thank you iOS5). If you plan on driving from the south to the north, we highly recommend to take the way through the virginia mountains along highway 81. It is beautiful, especially during autumn.
We had already made plans before we left to stay with some friends, Austin and Brittany. These two met in Georgia, shortly after were married and moved to Philly as Austin had accepted a job as a worship pastor at a church in Glenn Mills. Austin took us around the city during the day and at night the four of us had some pretty intense games of Apples to Apples. This city has been my favorite within the U.S., and this trip only reinforced that.
Highlights include (but are not limited to):
Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, The Franklin Fountain, Cheesesteaks, South Street, Spruce Street Coffee, Betsy Ross’ House, Christ Church, Cheesesteaks, Benjamin Franklin’s grave, Cheese Whiz, The Rocky-stairs-run-punch-victory dance, The Mint…
…Cheesesteaks.
While we were there we took a few photos of Austin and Brittany, and they are unbelievably fun to photograph.
