Philadelphia

Ryan and I decided to jump over to Philly for the night.  We loved seeing the sights, learning the history, eating cheesesteak, sweating our butts off and much more.

Independence Hall

The Liberty Bell

First court house

Betsy Ross's House

Statue of the Unknown Soldier in Washington Park

Rittenhouse Park

We had dinner on the other side of Rittenhouse Park

Many had stars on the front

I really loved the cute houses

Happy Birthday Ryan!!!

Friday was Ryan's 34th birthday.  We went to dinner in Times Square and then saw a play.  

This is a picture of Times Square from the restaurant, you'd think something was going on, like a parade or a flash mob, but nope, just the insanity of this area.

Birthday Boy!

Jazz at Lincoln Center

Ryan and I have passed this sign maybe 100 times but never really knew what it was.  So we decided to look into it and as we learned more we realized that this would be a great experience.  The jazz room was located many floors up in Lincoln Center over looking Central Park South.  It was a beautiful setting looking at the city scape as the sun set, watching the cabs and New Yorkers pass by.  

Coney Island

 It was a beautiful day so we decided to check out Coney Island.  There weren't enough words to describe the amazing people watching this little beach town has to offer.
