We all hit the town early this morning. It is quite a different scene from what we are used to, but we found our way around great! It helps that Cristy lives there to give us directions too. We went and got tour bus tickets first thing.
City Hall
After we secured bus tickets, we headed to Reading Terminal Market for lunch.
Mike and I had cheesesteaks and Ryan had a sausage....thanks to Aunt Cristy! She searched all over for that sausage for Ryan.
