We just returned from the East Coast and a visit to our families. We spent a lot of time around the Atlantic City area and in Philadelphia.
My husband grew up in Margate, NJ and this first picture is the landmark Lucy the Elephant. Many years ago it used to be a hotel.
I absolutely love American History and there is no better place to go for that than Philadelphia. To stand in the room where the Declaration Of Independence was signed really moved me. There is so much to see in this part of the city, I wish we had more time. The following are photos of Independence Hall, Washington Square (we took a haunted ghost tour of the city at night), and of course the Liberty Bell.
