Up To Speed #5




Soon after out return from the South, we spent a couple of days in Philadelphia where Abram attended the APA conference for an interview. We ate at the White Dog Cafe (known for serving local foods), visited the Liberty Bell (which Owen called the "Jingle Bell") and Independence Hall (Please see the picture with Owen and Abram in the room where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were debated and written.), and went to the Academy of Natural Sciences where we saw dinosaur (and other) bones, petted a variety of live critters including a hissing cockroach, and road a metal turtle. We shopped at the Reading Terminal Market and had lunch. Owen really enjoyed taking the train from Lancaster to Philadelphia and riding the subway trains in town. He also enjoyed the hotel pool.
