Off to Philadelphia

A couple of weeks ago we went to Lancaster for an educational session for Ryan, and we took a day trip into Philadelphia! We had never really been there before and found it to be quite a charming city...

The science museum there (the Franklin Institute) had a special Narnia exhibit which was FANTASTIC! We spent an entire afternoon looking at props, sets and costumes from both movies and viewing the excellent displays. It was well worth it for fans of Narnia. We were disappointed that we couldn't actually take any pictures inside...



Of course we saw Ben Franklin while there...



It was fun - we actually plan to go back again and spend a couple nights in the city and explore more of the history there. From this trip we will always remember the visit to the joke shop, almost running out of gas, tasting Turkish Delight for the first time, seeing an Imax movie about caves, Panera bread, Maple Donuts, and irish music!!
