Pennsylvania: The Rocky Steps in Philadelphia

Philadelphia Museum of Art
2600 Benjamin Franklin Parkway
Philadelphia, PA 19130

In July of 2009 it was Cousin Adam's turn for a road trip as a gift for his 16th birthday. Cousin Adam seemed to be a kid that was willing to really road trip; to spend a few hours in the car moving from place to place rather than just choosing to drive to one location and spend a few days. Thus, Cousin Adam and I checked out several locations in Pennsylvania including the great city of Philadelphia. 

I had been there a few times before but I had never done a bus tour. One of the stops on the route was at the Rocky steps. You know, the scene in Rocky when he runs up the huge staircase. Well, those stair lead up to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The tour did not allow us time to visit the museum but I had been there many times before. Adam would have gone to the museum with me but we visited another museum already that day. What Adam really wanted to do what run up those steps!! ...And so he did!!!


 I recommend that if you find yourself in the City of Brotherly Love, a.k.a. Philadelphia, that you go in and check out the beautiful collections of art that the museum owns or one of the many traveling exhibits that they host from time to time. Run the steps if you dare!
