Memorial Weekend in Philadelphia: Exploring Philadelphia


____________________________________________________________________________________

I'll admit that I didn't know much about Philadelphia before this trip. It wasn't on our must visit list so we were pleasantly surprised to have learned the significance of Philadelphia in American history from the trip.

Lydia had found a good deal for the hop on/off bus tour from Groupon. The bus tour provided an easy, flexible and informative way for us to get around and to learn much more about the city. Since the weather was nice, we also walked/took a jog during the early morning to spend more time at the sights that we drove by during the bus tour.

The Love Sign

Some random sculpture






Reading Terminal Market

Chinatown



Rodin Museum
There were a bunch of museums in the city but we didn't enough time to cover those. We just visited the free Mint museum that highlighted how the US coins were made and circulated.
