Travel Memories Tuesday: Dreams are real

This weeks Travel Memories Tuesday isn't so far into the past - in fact its from my trip to the USA earlier this year. If you've been reading my blog for a while I'm sure you will remember that earlier this year I finally made it to "the big country".  I visited so many places and there was so much to see and do and so many fabulous friends to spend time with.

I was lucky enough to spent time with my awesome friend Alicia and her husband Bear in Whitehall, Pennsylvania. They are the sweetest couple and did all they could to make my "All American" dreams come true.

One of my lifelong dreams was to visit a drive-in movie theatre - we don't have drive-in movies in New Zealand. We do have outdoor movie screenings in the summer, but I wanted to go to a for reals drive-in - with the snacks and everything. On my last day we went to the drive-in and it was so amazing, I loved every minute of it! Thanks Alicia and Bear - DREAMS ARE REAL!

A taste of Philadelphia

Hello World! My tour of the big country continues, I'm now in Whitehall, Pennsylvania hanging out with Alicia and Bear.

But today I want to share with you a brief rundown of the four days I spent in Philadelphia with Meg - so here's an epic photo post!

First up we went shopping at South Street, its such a cute and quirky street with lots of fun stores and art is everywhere!

We visited and amazing mosaic wonderland called "Philadelphia Magic Gardens" - a space where a local artist had created a huge mosaic. It's so beautiful!

We went to visit the Liberty Bell - its actually much smaller than you think!

We also visited a beautiful portraiture gallery.

We also visited Benjamin Franklin's house and post office. 

We visited the Love Park & I took a cheesy photo!

 

We went to visited the Rocky Statute and posed appropriately!

 We visited the Rodin Museum and I had my photo taken by the "Gates of Hell" and checked out some of the other amazing sculptures.

 Finally we went to the Eastern State Penn and got to see a recreation of Al Capone's cell and check out some amazing old buildings.
