There was soooo much cool stuff to see in Philly that we didn't have time to see it all. Here are the highlights of the historical sights...and there were a lot of them! I think our favorite thing was just walking around.....everywhere you looked there was a historic building. It was beautiful! I loved that through the years a great deal of effort was put in keeping history alive through the streets of Philadelphia. I learned so much about our Nation's history during our trip. It also gave me the desire to learn more...and the regret that I didn't pay more attention during my US History class in high school!
