Philadelphia, PA

 We had a bunch of Hilton Honor's points we needed to use up so we headed to Philadelphia for the weekend to see what it had to offer.  We stayed at the new Home 2 Hilton which was really nice and right across the street from the Reading Market.  I wish I had taken a picture of that place, it was so neat!  And crowded.  But it had great food and the prices were not bad at all!  We spent a lot of time at the indoor pool at the hotel (of which I also forgot to take pictures).  We ventured out Saturday afternoon in the car.

 This is the the new Philadelphia temple in progress.  So neat to see it being built.  And only an hour from our house, it's not a bad drive.  Only a $5 toll too which if you compare it to getting to NYC temple, it's like $50 just in tolls.

 They had some interesting stuff to see around the city.

 Paul called this the artistic hippy sculpture.

 The Masonic Temple

 Benjamin Franklin statues were everywhere.

We even drove passed Betsy Ross' house.

We wanted to go tour the mint and see the liberty bell, but decided to do that either without kids or when it wasn't so dang cold.
