Lights of Liberty Show

We arrived in Philadelphia late last night and spent today at the Franklin Institute, a remarkable science museum that the kids really loved.

After a very satisfying dinner at a little diner that was everything you imagine a Philadelphia diner featuring Philly Cheese Steaks and Pizzas to be, we took the Lights of Liberty tour. The after-dark walking tour takes you past five significant sites. You listen to a state of the art surround sound narrative on headsets as pretty impressive projections are flashed up on the buildings.

It was great for the grown ups with lots of historical information. It was also great for the kids who had a different narration featuring Whoopie Goldberg. It was all well done and a great way to see the sites.

Tomorrow we'll wrap up Philadelphia with a tour of Independence Hall.
