Taking in some history

Philadelphia, Oct. 9, 2008--Had a few hours to kill before the start of the baseball game tonight, so myself, Houston based photographer David J. Phillip, and Milwaukee photographer Morry Gash decided to do some sight seeing before heading over the ballpark.

We started out the trip by chowing down on Philly cheese steaks at the legendary Geno's. I had mine "provolone with," which means provolone cheese with onions. You have to order the right way or it messes up the whole process.

After lunch, we drove around the city and stopped at Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed, then went and the saw the Liberty Bell.

Then it was on to see the statue of Rocky, located at the base of the Philadelphia Museum of Art stairs made famous in the first film. We just did a drive by of it, but it was still cool to check it, and the nearby Schuylkill (SKOO-kull) River out.

Heading over the game now boys. Sure wish you guys were here to see it with me.

See you in two days!!!!

Love,
Dad
