The battle of the cheesesteaks

 

Saturday was our day to try the two famous cheesesteak restaurants...Pat's vs. Geno's.  We ubered to the restaurants, which were right beside each other, because we didn't want to walk 2 miles to get there after running 13.1 miles.  We still were unsure of the whiz, so we go American cheese at Pat's, but got the whiz cheese at Geno's.  We really liked the whiz!!  I guess we should have gotten the whiz at both places to do the most accurate test, but in our inaccurate test, we both liked Geno's better.  We thought it was not as dry.  Maybe it was the whiz!  Both were really good, but Geno's won in our taste test!

We then ubered to Independence Hall area again.  The line was too long to see the Liberty Bell again, so we took pictures through the window with our medals.

Then we were able to tour the Constitution Center.  I would highly recommend this museum if you are in Philly.  They did a really good job making the constitution alive and interesting.  Camden enjoyed showing off his Supreme Court cases knowledge as he is taking government at school.

After the museum, we headed to the Philadelphia Christmas Market.  Lots of booths and some really good caramels and the LOVE sign.  On the way there, we saw some more sights, including Macy's.  Camden had never seen a department store of that size!  I did hear, however, that Macy's is closing that store soon.  Very sad.

We ended our stay in Philly with dinner at Mac Mart, a fancy macaroni and cheese restaurant.  Not the best meal of the trip, but it was nice to get it to go, eat in the hotel lobby, and then finish Kobra Cai.  The next day we needed to get out of town before roads would be closed for the marathon!

Camden was tired of pictures for the day!
