Day 7 - Philadelphia, PA to Washington DC

We woke up in Philly on Friday morning and eventually got ourselves out of the hotel. It took us a couple of tries, but we got tickets to see Independence Hall at 12:30pm. What an incredible place! It's building that's stood for centuries. It's probably the oldest building I've ever been in. So cool.

First room on the tour, pretty sure it was a courtroom.

After checking into our hotel in MD, Dad and I jumped on the metro (went the wrong way one stop) and headed into the city to see what was going on down at the mall.

We hopped off the subway at Farragut North and walked down to the mall. We came in about here (WWII Memorial) -

The Lincoln Memorial was CRAWLING with people!
