Weekend in Philly
I spent the weekend of the 4th in Philadelphia. My daughter, Michelle, was rowing in the Independence Day regatta on the Schuylkill River. Beth and I had never watched these kinds of races before and really enjoyed watching them. We also did a lot of sightseeing and went on a duckboat ride with a wild and crazy guide. We were impressed with how well-preserved Old Philadelphia is. We spent half a day in the Philadelphia Museum of heart and were impressed with the collections. We learned (on the duckboat ride) that the famous scene in the Rocky movie where Sylvester Stalone runs the steps to get in shape are the steps to the front of the Museum of Art. (The duckboat guide said the most frequently asked question is "Where are the steps in the Rocky movie?)

Did you get to see the great Wanamaker organ? Worth a visit if you go back to Philly. I think it's in the big Lord & Taylor's downtown.
