Rocky and Cheese Steaks

Mike really wanted us to pose in front of the Rocky statue. Patricia told us that it use to be at the top of the stairs into the art museum (the building behind) but someone decided it was not "art". It was moved elsewhere but became a problem and was then moved back to the museum and placed in the front lawn.

Then Mike and the kids did the famous run up the stairs.

Up they go!

You can see Mike at the top with Patrick not far behind.. Becca is still working her way up but can not be seen

The other half of our party then walked up the stairs but George needed a little help. He did get to do the last few steps by himself.

The art museum was too expensive and boring to take the kids in but we enjoyed the art outside.

Mike could a shot of us from across the fountain.

Another shot of the fountain.

The fountain with the city behind it.

This is Casimir Pulaski, a Polish revolutionary war hero. And in Illinois, the school kids get the day off for him. Mike thought it was fitting to have a picture taken with him.

That night, Patricia took us to South Philly to get REAL cheese steaks.




As you can see, Patricia was an awesome host and took us everywhere! There's only one post left in our photo journey and I saved the best for last!
