PHILLY-DC 2000





We flew from Atlanta to DC via AirTran on June 6, 2000. After getting the obligatory rental car, we were off to Philadelphia! This trip was to enjoy the history of Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Philly Masonic Lodge, US Mint and other points of interest including Easton Crayola Factory and QVC.


At the end of our trip, we returned to DC for a couple more days before returing to Georgia on June 12th.


Following are some photos taken of this trip and in no special order. Enjoy.
