New Jersey Trip Day 2

The following day I went to Millington Baptist Church with Ginny, Hock and Grace. After the service we drove to Philadelphia to see the Liberty Bell.

After the Liberty Bell, or "cracked bell" as Grace called it, we got on a Duck Tour to see the rest of Philly.
We were each given a "quacker", but Hock got Grace a special pink quacker to support Breast Cancer Research:

Here's Ginny and Grace quacking towards Hock:

Hock and Grace give it a try:


The Duck Tour went into the Delaware River. The captain went in fast so Ginny and I were soaked!


After the Duck Tour we decided to walk the streets of Philadelphia in search of Elfreth's Alley, the oldest residential neighborhood. It was close to dinnertime so we went to Johnny Rockets for dinner. I didn't realize that at some locations the wait straff entertains the customers with a dance!

Here is Elfreth's Alley:
We drove through during dinner time. We know that because the streets are so narrow that we looked to our left and witnessed a family having dinner together. They said hello as we drove by!
We drove back in pouring rain, but I liked it! It's nice to experience weather once and awhile!
