Cheese Steak Anyone?

Tonight I will try to post our Phillie portion of the trip.
Hold on ladies and gents, a much is a comin'!

We are finally home from our trip to the east. It was an awesome trip.
We are happy to be home but we hated to leave.

We arrived in NYC two Saturdays ago. We didn't get to see much because Delta
put one of our bags on a later flight, which meant waiting at the airport until it arrived.

BUT...... these are the sights we saw as we drove from JFK to West Chester, PA.

Brooklyn Bridge + antenna


Statue at Central Park
(I have no idea who he is)

Times Square
(holy crap, hugiciousness)

Washington Bridge

Our arrival was quite late at Jef and Rob's house, so a quick goodnight was said
and then off to bed. (I rhymed on purpose)

The next morning we were off to Philadelphia for some authentic cheese steaks with fries............


from Steve's Prince of Steaks. (The most highly recommended)

Utah can't even compare! Close but not even a cigar.
By far the most delicious cheese steak I've ever had.
I said authentic didn't I!?

Then, the most highly anticipated event of the day...........


Is it? No, it couldn't be........Davey?

To the Philadelphia Art Museum we went!
(look for Davey's videos coming soon to a blog near you)
We didn't have time to go in, but I would love to some day. So we checked out some of the fun surroundings instead.


George Washington and his horse, rears included.




Puddle jumpin'


We concluded our day in Phillie with a trip to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.




Jef, Robyn, and the kiddles


Last, but certainly not least, Franklin Ice Cream parlor.
So completely delicious and old fashioned. They still make everything by hand, milkshakes and all. I had the yummiest root beer float and lime rickey ever. Davey sticks to what he likes best, the chocolate shake.

Why is everything old fashioned so much better?

Can it be? Is Jef sleeping standing up? No!

To be continued.................
(remember to stay tuned for Davey's videos)
