The Summer 2018 trip started with a jaunt up the coast along busy interstates and rural backroads. We skirted Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD skipped through Delaware really quickly with a brief stop for some post cards and magnets to prove we were there. Our destination on day one was the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia, PA. I also must point out that my oldest daughter Cara sucked Erin and I right back into playing Pokemon Go. Oh the tragedy. We pulled into Philly and I found our AirBNB but since there was no where to park I drove right past and headed to our first stop of the day anyway. The imposing Eastern State Penitentiary. This was the highlight of the day. We did a lot today but this wow. From its castle like walls to the amazing stories inside it was several hours well spent. We prowled the hallways looking for lost souls. Dove into the depths of Death Row and the Pit. In the end we found nothing . . but the sense of something just out of view was always there. It really is just such an imposing place. I would so love to come to this at night but that price tag is a bit high for my pocket book and perhaps for my heart and soul...
