I love that, on the east coast, everything is pretty close to everything else. We were headed to New York City from Washington, D.C., but, on the way, we were able to see some pretty amazing sites:
Baltimore, home of the Ravens and the Orioles, and the setting for one of my favorite movie/musical/movie musicals, Hairspray.
Fort McHenry, where Francis Scott Key wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner":
Independence Hall, the site of the signing of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution:
The Liberty Bell:
And the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which has the steps Rocky Balboa famously ran up in the first Rocky movie.
It's hard to say what I was most excited about.
We got a cheesesteak, too, which could have easily been the highlight of the trip.
We got to our hotel in New Jersey that night, had a late supper, and were joined by my dad, who flew in from Las Vegas for the last few days of our tour.

Liberty bell... liberty bell... d'oh! I mean, woohoo!
Okay, I'm sorry for the mean thing I said about your blog template. It must not have loaded all the way when I looked at it yesterday. I really do like it.
