Down Town Philly

Ok, so I have decided that I really stink at this blogging thing I mean seriously Landon and I have been in Philadelphia for a good part of the summer now and I am just blogging the stuff that happened in June. Well i guess in my defence, our camera did break so that did put a small damper on things, but we got a new one so i will let you know what we have been up to.

For all of you that didn't know Landon and I decided to go to Philly for the summer to sell security systems, it has been an adventure and we would be coming back next summer but Landon got in his program at school so he will be doing clinicals next summer!

When Landon and I got here in May you could say it was a bit of a culture shock. The highway system here is wack and everyone drives so so fast, and since Landon and I are accustomed to Idaho highways we were shell shocked! So after a few weeks of living in Valley Forge and getting familiar with the area we decided to venture out to Down town Philly and see some of the sights.


First we went and got Philly Cheese steaks at a local favorite. This was an experience all in itself, you have to order a certain way and if you take to much time you can tell they get really irritated! So we ordered a cheese steak wit whiz, this means a cheese steak with onions and cheese whiz, this is how most people from Philly like theirs so we figured when in Rome! The cheese steaks were way good, and way huge.

Next we ventured to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. The Liberty Bell was awesome..and that's all i really have to say about that sight! Then at Independence Hall we were waiting in line to go inside the actual building and next thing I know Landon is telling me that Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore are standing like 10 feet away from us. At first I didn't believe him, but the more we looked we realized that it really was them. So to make this story a little bit shorter we didn't end up seeing Independence Hall that day, Landon wanted to follow them instead, so that really shows you how patriotic we are...hahah!

After this we walked to LOVE park and down to the Philly Art Museum which is known for the stairs from the Rocky movie, it looked like a short walk...wrong...and I was wearing the worst shoes, but over all it was really fun.


Philly is the 6Th biggest city in the nation, so it was really neat to see some of the sights, and eat some of the native food, we really had such a good time.
