The second day of our trip was full of History, starting from Philadelphia to DC. We started from Baltimore Hotel towards Philly, the largest city in Pennsylvania and famous of rich history. It has Liberty Bell and Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were signed. It was also the temporary US capital while DC was under construction. We wanted to cover more in DC, hence we skipped all these places and just visited Rocky Steps at the Philadelphia Museum of art. These steps have been immortalized
