Philly!!

Yay, home, sweet, home! Yesterday we had the lovely opportunity to head to downtown Philadelphia for a couple of shows. It is such a wonderful place with great people. Ya know, the Northeast is not well-known for its friendliness and/or hospitality, but from my experience, I find that the people in this area are quite pleasant.

At one point, we stopped at a small gas station to fuel up. The three guys working there- definitely Philly born-and-raised- were so fun and helpful. They chatted it up with Trent for a good half hour about the coach, Alaska and of course, Philadelphia!

I will say though, that it was a trial for Trent to drive in the city...I've now decided that after taking on some of those small streets, he can pretty much take on anything! All the other commercial vehicles had scratches and dents all over them...which is not a possibility for us! So I'm very proud of him :)

Also while we've been here, SEPTA (the local public transportation) has been on strike, and according to locals, the strike was done without any notice- people went to the bus stop in the a.m., but no bus came for them! ANYWAYS, we thought we should go around with our bus and charge people for a ride...of course we didn't, but it would've been a great way to make some extra income, right?? :)

Ok so here are some photos of beautiful Philthy! 

Down the street from first event- City Hall

Second event, South Philly

...so true!

Sorry but this made my day! 

...I love this pic because you can kinda see the coach seats in it too :) Not on purpose, but cool nonetheless!

Rocky, anyone?

...ready to get back to the hotel after a long (fun!) day!
