We left Thursday evening after school and drove to Philadelphia where we lodged ourselves at the Windsor hotel in the heart of the city. A quick trip to the roof gave us a surprisingly good view of the new temple a couple of blocks away.
Breakfast was not included, so I made a midnight trip to the Wawa and gathered supplies to eat eggs, cheese, croissants, orange juice, and kielbasa in the morning. We put Cece to sleep in the large walk-in closet and quite enjoyed our stay.
The next day we did a tour of the temple, where Cece engaged in all manner of toddler naughtiness, and then headed over to Independence Hall and saw the Liberty Bell. It was fun to be back in the city of Love after all our years of visiting Darin and Kim there. It feels like a second or third home to us.
