2nd leg Philadelphia, PA and Newburgh, NY

After a great visit with friends in Manassas we headed for Philadelphia for Lunch.  The traffic between Manassas and Philadelphia was crazy of course.  We knew for sure then we were not in Tennessee anymore.  What else do you get for lunch in Philly except for a Philly Cheese Steak.  Melissa found a place called the Reading Terminal Market and we headed over there.

Place we got the Cheese Steak
8 bucks minus the Coke

Yummy
We were able to take a look around the market and see what all they sold there.  It was a a ton of different fruits, vegetables, seafood cooked/uncooked, chocolate, and more.

I figured we needed to hit up some of the historical sites on the trip.  So where else do you go in Philly but the Liberty Bell.  We were only a few blocks away

After a great day in Philly we drove to Newburgh, NY to avoid some the Hurricane Sandy mess on the coast.  The traffic was terrible, but we made it to the area.  The part that was interesting is when we got here come to find out this is the home of Orange County Choppers (OCC).  So we are staying right across from it.  It is always fun to have the surprise place that you run into.  Then we finished off the night with New York style pizza.  Well we will head over there and check that out in the morning.  We plan to make it to the state of Maine tomorrow.
