We took our first Shaw family vacation this past weekend to Philadelphia and the Jersey shore. We got a great last-minute deal on aaa.com...you should check them out! Why Philly? Well, in college I lived in Ocean City, NJ for a summer and wanted to return. (7 years later! How time flies!) And of course Philly has great food and history. It is a great city to walk around in see a variety of sites.
We went to the first establishment to serve Philly cheesesteaks (Pat's King of Steaks)...there I am with Davey eating one in South Philly. And then across the street is Pat's competitor Geno. He makes better steaks in a cleaner restuarant...but has some strict fews on migrants. Does anyone remember seeing him on the News demanding that patrons speak English? He now sells bumper stickers that say "English Please".
We toured the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. We found the LOVE sculpture in JFK Park. We went to a restaurant in the orginial City Tavern where the founding fathers came for a drink. I had braised rabbit!
Davey saw the ocean for the first time. Well, at least he had the chance to see it. The store I worked at on the boardwalk hasn't changed a bit. We ate big sliced pizza and water ice (it is like an ICEE) from the boardwalk.
We had decided that we need to invest in a small airplane because Davey did wonderfully on all three plane trips we took there and back...however as soon as we got him into that car seat of the rental car he started to scream like at home. I have tried everything...I guess we will just have to wait until he grows out of that stage!
