Philadelphia

Blog Post #3: I had a very long day. My dad and I arrived at Rentschler Field this morning at 4:57 AM exactly. We spent an hour getting the troop ready and then busses packed. We left a little bit after 6:00 AM.

After a long bus trip we arrived in Philadelphia, where Troop 527 met their tour guide, Tim Krepp. Tim spent his day showing the major attractions of Phily, as well as some smaller things that are just cool to think about. We visited Benjamin Franklin's house and saw the Liberty Bell.

The day finsihed with a spectacular and comical Mad Cap performance about the Revolutionary War. We went to dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe, and now I am writing a blog.

Yes, it was very busy. However, I accomplished a lot and am ready for tomorrow. We are headed to Washington, D.C., and will see many attractions there. Until then...
