We had an oppurtunity to visit Philadelphia in February. February is not a great month to go walk around in Philadelphia, but we lucked out and the weather was pretty good. This was a last minute, spurr of the moment oppurtunity.
We went to visit the Liberty Bell first. This was not our first time to visit this site, but it was nice to visit without tons of security guards everywhere! The last time we visited, it was the day after the Liberty Bell was physically attacked by a man weilding a hammer. Luckily there was not a repeat performance prior to our visit or during the visit for that matter.

FYI, in the 1950's replicas of the Liberty Bell were cast and then given to each of the states, Alaska, Hawaii (which were not yet states), Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. Might be a fun quest to go find them all!!
MD's replica is in Annapolis, at St. John's College, I believe.
Enjoy!
