Rocky's "steps"

Texas Ranger spent 2 weeks in Cape May while its captain and crew traveled.  Well, we didn't travel the entire time...just for a week or so.  Our friends Michele & Ron had a business meeting in Ohio for one week, so we decided to tour Philadelphia and return to Texas for the 87th annual family reunion in Lampasas during the same time.  We had never been to Philadelphia, and so we thoroughly enjoyed seeing the historical district and touring more of this grand city.  It was amazing to not only see, but to stand in, the very same rooms in which the founding documents of our nation were discussed and approved almost 2 1/2 centuries ago!  We later saw a bit of more modern Philly--the U.S. Mint, Chinatown, University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, Modern Downtown, and the steps that Rocky ran up at the Museum of Art.
