Last time in Philly for me was 2006. I ordered my IH tickets online from the NPS, so I could pick them up when I toured. The tickets are free of course, but the fee to pre order was $1.50.
I will probably never get back to DC/Philly until I retire. I am 7 years away from Social Security.
Next time, if I make it before I leave this old world, I am going to take a Horse Carriage ride. I wanted to in 2004 and 06, but did not have any extra money.
You know on the maps they hand out in IH of the general tourist area, Betsy Ross' house is not on the map! That seemed quite odd!! I toured it, only $3.00.
I love Philadelphia.
