Eastcoast Highlights

As I have previously posted, Ben and I recently returned from a trip back east to celebrate two very important birthday's! We're finally getting around to posting some fun pictures from our trip. Our first stop was "Stewart's" for lunch. Ben said he wanted to try some of the local fare, so my cousin suggested the "California Burger." What? California Burger... aren't we in New Jersey? Lunch at "Stewart's", Lydia happily finished my root beer!

A trip across the Delaware river to Philadelphia was the next stop on our visit. We took the train into the city and had a perfect view as we crossed the river.

My dad and sister, Carrie, joined us on our trip into the city. While in the city we were able to see the house where the Constitution was drafted, Liberty Bell, Betsy Ross's House, and Billy Penn.

Before we left the city we decided to walk to the infamous cheese steak stops, Geno's & Pat's. Geno's has received national recognition this year for this controversial sign it has posted by their registers. Directly across the street from Geno's is another cheese steak shop called Pat's. Pat's is what all our relatives recommended and as we walked through the neighborhood's we (or I should say my Dad) asked many of the locals which one was the best. They all said Pat's.

Besides, Rocky ate cheese steaks from Pat's, they must be the best!

One more funny thing we saw while walking through Philadelphia, we couldn't resist!

Our last stop on our trip was Freehold, NJ. The birthplace and old stomping grounds of Bruce Springsteen. I've been informed that our day in Freehold/Asbury Park deserves & needs it's own post. Ben should be adding that to our blog shortly! Stay tuned!
