The last weekend in April, my ward took a trip up to Philly. Katie and I went up Saturday morning, and picked up Christine at the train station. I'd convinced her to come join us for the weekend from NYC - and it was so much fun!! We hung out with ward people most of the day on Saturday, touring around Philly, eating cheesesteaks, and taking in some history. Then we relaxed at our hotel and stayed through Sunday, went to church at the single's ward there, and then headed back Sunday night. It was a perfect girls weekend getaway!
And now for the pictures ... starting with, of course, the Liberty Bell, in all her glory.
Near the Philadelphia Mint, we found this little treasure ...
In the National Constitution Center, they had an exhibit straight from Cooperstown called "Baseball As America." We didn't actually go through it (didn't want to pay for it) so that is my incentive to just go to Cooperstown!
I'm not really sure what this building was, but I really liked it, and insisted that we take a picture.
Katie wanted to see the Rocky Steps ... so we did. And while we were in line waiting to take this picture, I ran into my next-door neighbor from my freshman year at BYU - so random! 
And then we had to run up the Rocky steps and of course take the silly pictures at the top.
On Sunday morning we took a walk by City Hall - one of the most beautiful buildings in Philly!
I have no idea the significance of these dominos, but there were a whole bunch of random game pieces on the patio of this building, so we, of course, took pictures. I didn't think I was going to be tall enough to do this picture - and it was very slippery!
We couldn't let this photo opportunity pass me by ... so here's the 3 of us:
I really wanted to find this statue since we'd seen people with pictures at it all weekend, and we finally found it - and actually this park is called "Love Park." ha ha

Great pictures. I can't believe there's a Rocky statue on the side of the art museum! When Brian and I went last year, we did the whole Rocky steps thing, but didn't see the statue. Brian's gonna die! I love the domino picture with you! I miss all the scenic and historic stuff of the east!
Mmmm... reminds me of our quick visit for a game and cheesestake a few summers ago. Crazy but it doesn't seem like it was all that long ago.
