It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

So how's this for fun. On Saturday last I, along with some friends took a trip to the City of Brotherly Love. This was the third such trip to said city in my life. Every time it seems to get better. The first was a trip two years ago, and I decided that it was about the biggest hole in America. I gave it another chance in January, and I found that there is a lot more that the city could offer, including an exhibit about King Tutenkhamun. However that day it was too late and I decided that I wanted to make it back to see it. Since the exhibit is closing next week, I knew I had to go soon. So, four of us, Amy, Sydney, Reed and I loaded up and left early in the a.m. to make the journey to Philadelphia.Amy and Sydney Walking Like Egyptians

We made it to the city about three hours later. We went directly to the museum since our tickets were for eight (we knew we could get in any time so we bought the early tickets). We stood in a long line and finally got in with the hoards of others who were there to see the exhibit. It was very interesting. I, for one, learned a load of stuff. For instance, I never knew that he married his half-sister. So, it was a pretty cool exhibit, but with all of the people there, it was kinda crazy.
By the time we were done, we were pretty hungry, so we decided to get a pretzel from a street vendor. They ended up being a little soggy, but they were satisfying nonetheless.
We went to see some of the local sites of Philly and here are some photos to document the day.

Before we left town, we decided to get a cheesesteak from Pat's King of Steaks, which is one of the two most famous places in town. It was very tasty indeed.Enjoying cheesesteaks and fries at Pat's

After that, we packed up and left for a three hour ride home.
All-in-all, I have to say that my humble opinion of Philadelphia is improving with every visit there. The history, the museums, and the amazing murals throughout the city give it a distinct charm that is a bit different from any other city that I have been to. I am sure to go back and see more. I hope you have enjoyed this adventure Saturday as well as I did.
(on an unrelated note, I am sorry that this isn't very witty. I am tired and not in the mood to think of funny lines today. Maybe next time)
