The City of Brotherly Love

Our next destination was Philadelphia, PA which was a tough city to find a camping spot. We ended up at Campus Park & Ride which was a lot right in the city that actually had water and electric sites with a dump station (sort of) and bath house. This would be our 1st official campground with hookups since we left home.

 

 It was convenient to Penn's Landing by way of shuttle and Septa city bus. Our first night there the boys let loose by "hitting the wall" with tennis balls and lacrosse sticks in the parking lot. We got to talk with a few other campers in our odd camping location. We found out that Comic Con was in town and a vendor staying there offered us some free tickets. Jason Jr and Nathan were excited. The next morning, our other "neighbors" gave us tokens for the bus ride. This was an awesome place so far!

 



 There was a lot of history here to soak up...from our Founding Fathers, signing of the Declaration of Independence to Continental Congress and the Liberty Bell.

After a few site tours, we walked to the convention center to drop off the big boys to explore Comic Con.                                                                       They had some freedom and loved shopping the booths there and people watching. We would meet up with them later in the day. 

 

Jason and I took SamBob and Wesley to explore some more and grab lunch at the Reading Terminal Market. This place was a really cool indoor farmer's market/food court with over 75 vendors. It was chaotic and oh so hard to choose something. Jason had a Philly Cheese-steak, the obvious choice here!
Our time here was short and sweet then off to The Big Apple!
