My weekend at Philly and Exton, Pennsylvania

The last 4 days at Princeton was pretty non-momentous.
Miss K and I spend our days shopping, pigging out, watching TV in the hotel while J was at work.
It was such a nice change to be able to visit Uncle Ted at Philadelphia over the weekend. The last time I was there was in 1993, so that was really a while ago!

Uncle Ted was such a lovely 'tour guide' for the weekend. We visited the Independence Hall, went for a tour around it (free admissions for all national parks, which was brilliant; but one would need to take a queue number for the timed tickets before the tour), had a glimpse of the Liberty Bell, and had a really nice view of the city from the Philadelphia Art museum.
Had our lunch and dinner at Philly's chinatown, which is supposed to be the 3rd largest in the USA.

 Uncle Ted lives in Exton, Penn, which is a small quaint town west of Philly. We stayed a night over at his after a long day in Philly and he drove us to Valley Forge National Park the next day before returning to Princeton (which is about 1.5hr from Exton). This park was the site of the military camp of the American Continental Army over the winter of 1777–1778 in the American Revolutionary War.

Thanks Uncle Ted for such a lovely weekend!
