We have just arrived home from a weekend trip to Philadelphia
It drizzled all day on Saturday but after a walk down to Old Town we caught a double decker bus to see the sights
We saw lots of cool historical stuff - like the house where the star spangled banner was made and the Rocky steps!
We visited the Franklin Institute which is like a bigger, older Questacon. I walked through a two-storey heart with Mummy.

| Poe was right..the sound of a beating heart is enough to drive you mad! |
And tried to solve the mystery of 'who dung it' in the Circus room.
Then I fell asleep in Daddy's arms as we went around the Reading Terminal Market and got some yummy things for dinner, including Bassetts Mint choc-chip ice cream (which was so good I managed 3 serves)
Today we visited the Mutter Museum that is filled with Medical oddities. I thought the freakiest thing there was the body of a lady who was mummified by her own fat in the grave. There were lots of skulls and skeletons and various body parts in jars. It was pretty cool.
We stopped by Franklin Square for a quick play and a few goes on the Merry go Round before walking back through Chinatown to get some delicious hand pulled noodles to enjoy on our bus trip back to DC.
