Our Last Day In The City Of Brotherly Love.

Well we made it back to quiet Springfield Virginia. We caught the evening bus back to china town and took the metro home. Overall it was a smoother ride then the firs round. We sat next to nice Jewish man that guessed we were Mormon and asked us all about the temple and our lives. Weird how we were going back "home." We walked around the city one last time and made it down to Penn Landing its kinda a boardwalk area minus the shops right on the water. There is a huge bridge you can take over to New Jersey so I saw another state! We finally ate the classic cheesestake where Boy scouts of America were welcome:) and hit up Benjamin Franklins home. There is actually no home structure there anymore but a cool little underground museum and one tiny decapitated brick wall you can look at.

We stumbled upon a monument to those who died in the potato famine in Ireland and also one of the oldest churches in America. It was a beautiful building with the classic wooden pews and a big steeple. We were bad and did not find an LDS building to attend church but rather went to this one and felt it was okay:) I love being with Larry and getting to see so much. He is very protective of us when we are in places like this making sure I don't get lost and always have a diet coke to drink. Such a good husband. We also found the oldest longest place that people have continually lived circa 1703 it was charming tiny row houses and a fun find.

We ate at our little sugar waffle shop as well and said goodbye to it. We vow to one day go back and eat there again. We also got to take some pictures in front of the large Masonic temple that is downtown right next to the most ornate and large city hall. It was a pretty relaxing day just looking at all the buildings and enjoying our time together.
