This past weekend I turned a Saturday business meeting into a jam packed, sight seeing, weekend tour of Philadelphia with one of my best friends Shayna, who lives in Providence, RI. She drove 5 hours to see me! Thanks Shayna! During my quick visit she helped me stay on track while sight seeing, since we had a lot to do in a such a short time. Some of my favorite attractions where the popular hot spots like Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Philadelphia City Hall and so on.

We also went off the beaten path to a local favorite, Jim’s Steaks, which has been serving Philly Cheesesteaks since 1937. We had to wait in line for 20 minutes but it was well worth it!

I had to take a picture of the US Constitution Museum. After all this document did inspire our first shirt, DECLARE.

We cut through one of the many parks in the city and found a group of college students giving “free hugs.” I was a little skeptical, so I made Shayna hug these guys first.

It turns out that they really just wanted to give free hugs, apparently it was national hug day!? Philadelphia really is “The City of Brotherly Love.”

Go Phillies!
