Philly Cheese Steak



This weekend we went to Philadelphia and we had a BLAST! The adventure started out with the Hunger Games at midnight with my girls. We got home, had three hours of sleep, then woke up and left on a bus to Philly. Lauren and I jammed out to 90s music 'til Suze and Emma woke up, then we all coordinated iPods and listened to the same song at the same time and had a "silent" dance party. We got to stay at the Freedoms Foundation, which was fun. I didn't get to stay in the same building as last time, however, and this wasn't even close to as nice. But Suze and I got the suite, with like five beds and a kitchen. So that was cool. We ate some lunch and then toured Valley Forge. It was pretty, but since I have been I decided to do a little exploring. I found a teepee that someone had built and decided to chill in there until the boring part of the tour was over. Then we went back to the campus and played sand volleyball until dinner. After dinner we had a hilarious presentation from a "african-american colonial soldier". It was hilarious because he turned part of our class into a brigade. We had a good time. When we got back to our room there were bugs all over the place! I was almost in tears because there were so many. I was afraid they were going to crawl into my nose and hair and mouth while I slept. Some of the other girls, braver than me, killed the bugs. Then we pushed three of the beds together and me, Suze, Lauren, and Emma all slept in the same bed.
The next day we went to Philadelphia to see Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and the Constitution Center. This was my third time so during free time Suze and I found these sweet necklaces. I got a spyglass and she got a harmonica. We walked a few blocks away from Independence Hall and then I would look at people through my spyglass and say, " I spy a customer!" then she would play her harmonica and we would dance for money. We actually made some too!
Later we went to dinner at a pizza place. It was good! Lauren made me laugh so hard that soda came out of my nose.
