I’ve lived in Philly for over a year now and my parents wanted to come and see what I’ve been upto since moving out here. Â Here is a summary of our adventures.
Grabbing Philly Cheesesteaks
The 1st thing everyone wants to do upon arriving to the great city of Philadelphia is to grab a legit Philly Cheesesteak. They were so excited to get a cheesesteak that while I was giving them a tour of my room they discovered my cheesesteak hat and almost consumed it. Eventually we headed over to Tony Lukes, home of my favorite cheesesteak from the triple bypass challenge I did with David.
Seeing The Philly Sites
Throughout my parents trip we hit a lot of the popular Philly sites.  Some of the highlights we saw were:
- Seeing the Liberty Bell, they didn’t try to lick it
- Rocky statue and steps
- Board Game Art Park & LOVE Park
- Philadelphia Mint
- Reading Terminal

Mothers Day 2013
It was also great to be able to have my mom here for mothers day. Definitely a cherry on top of the whole trip.
Chocolate Making At Zwahlen’s Store
We Becks love  to make chocolates and when presented with the opportunity to take a tour and talk with some real chocolatiers we took the opportunity. We spent a few hours learning how Zwahlen’s makes their candy apples and chocolates. It was a great time!
Touring Benjamin Franklin Institute
We spent a whole day at the Benjamin Franklin Institute. I hadn’t been there yet and enjoyed trying all of the toys. I had fun taking videos of my parents playing on the different exhibits. You can check out the videos here.Â
