Memorial Day on the east coast: to Philadelphia on Saturday for a ring-related stop, a cheese steak sandwich, Independence Mall, and Kelly Drive. We saw the Liberty Bell, took pictures of Independence Hall, walked through the colonial district, saw the Delaware, and visited scenic historic boathouse row. It was a full day that left our feet tired and legs sore when we finally sat down at Johnny Mananas in East Falls for a burrito on our way north to Lehigh Valley.
Sunday was wedding day. Not actual wedding day, but really almost as important. We picked a date and made a startling amount of progress into other details. (One wonders how this sort of thing was accomplished in the days before the internet?) Monday was a bit more of the same, though more casual. We discovered - to our vast surprise and dismay - that Philadelphia's museums were observing the holiday by NOT opening on a Monday, so our original plan of going museum-hopping was out. So instead of venturing, planless, back into the city we investigated Macungie a little more in the form of a walk through town and the park with frisbee in hand. By mid-afternoon, though, we needed to get on the road and that was the visit; Rita's frozen smoothie thing in the car for the journey south to PHL and now it's 'see you soon' and 'miss you' like we've done many times before.
