Philly Day 1

Ok. Vacation. Been waiting for weeks for time off together. Started from Mom's for the trip after Easter. The girls were hyper, we couldn't visit the Herr's Potato chip factory this morning like planned, and we never made it Valley Forge at all. We are on our Philly vaca and haven't been to Philly yet after our whole first day! HAd an interesting time, though. On the way up above Aberdeen, we stopped at a covered bridge, one of the only ones left. Pretty cool, though falling apart.

Went the Herr's factory tour in Nottingham, PA. Took our time and got to see how chips, cheese curls, pretzels and such are made, which the girls loved. Got free samples of chips that just came outof the oil and salt-still warm! Never seen so many kinds of chips- we bought ketchup flavored to try them...


Had dinner at Bertucci's and are trying to find our way around Cherry Hill, NJ which has some wierd roads. Think I'm getting a cold just in time for vacation! Tomorrow we are supposed to go to see the Liberty Bell, Betsy Ross's house, Independence Hall and all that. That's what I want to see. I'm excited about that! We'll see how I feel after walking around Philly all day tomorrow... I'm hoping for a cheesesteak for lunch tomorrow in the city that created them!
