Spring Break in Philadelphia: Day One

When Spring Break is 4 days long (including the weekend) options are limited.  Like, really limited.  

So, we drove.  To Philly.  

And, you know, you can't polish a turd, but you sure can have fun trying.

We started off our vacation in Camden.  Because we thought it would be cool to take a stop in the most dangerous city in the US.  We are so street.

Also, because there is an aquarium and battleship located there.

Meet, the USS New Jersey.

This puppy has walls of steel.

  (Sidenote: we vacationed with some of our favorite friends, and she played photographer most of the trip, so be looking forward to Brothery Love 2.0, featuring legitimate photographs of things like boats. Until then, the dregs...)

 Next up was the Adventure Aquarium.  Which was cool, but, after going to Georgia's, not that cool.

This child was not my most favorite travel partner.  But, she did sleep through most of the aquarium, so there's that.  

 After dinner day one, we took a leisurely stroll to the temple construction site.  

Hey. I'm a Mormon.

 We ended our night (and every subsequent night) at the pool.  Which, true to form, was the kids' favorite part of the trip.  That, and the unlimited goodies at the treat cart in the hotel lobby.
