On our second day of our trip, we started off by heading out towards a Revolutionary War sight. As many of you know, war sights are not usually my top pick for vacations. However, we didn't have to listen to any engaging battle talks. But we did tour an old train station and a house where George and Martha stayed one winter.

We then headed for the city. Ryan, always prepared, had pulled up a variety of maps to help us get to our hotel. Let's just say that I think we're going to be investing in a gps one of these days. Navigation is clearly not one of my strong suits. Turns out that I used my spending money going back and forth over a toll bridge. It would have been a fun bridge to go over, except that it was going in the wrong direction.

It all ended okay though. We had been riding on E in our gas tank for about 1/2 hour of traffic into the city, and as soon as we crossed the bridge (on accident) we found ourselves right next to a gas station. AND we got to experience the only other state that does not allow you to pump your own gas. We hadn't planned on traveling into New Jersey, but having our gas pumped for us was definitely worth crossing the bridge twice.

Oh and I got to take part in my first Philly cheesesteak. It was delicious.
