Hello!

Yesterday we brought the kids for a field trip to Independence Hall, and since it was still on our "things to do in Philly" list, the whole family came along. We love the Historic District, and have spent a lot of time there, especially in the summers. I think by now we may have done just about everything there is to do there, especially after trying the amazing ($12!) sundaes at Franklin Fountain last week (vegan options available!). Anways, while walking by Franklin Square Park on our way back to the car yesterday, we ran into Mayor Nutter. I think he had just been planting trees with Prince Edward or something. He was walking to his motorcade, but took the time to stop and say hello, talk to the kids, etc. I am not endorsing anyone here (in fact, I can't even vote), but how perfect was it for the kids to meet the mayor on the day they of their government/history field trip!
