We loved our most recent exchange to the Philadelphia area in August 2017 and had an amazing time visiting New York, Washington DC and many museums and attractions in Philadelphia including Liberty Bell and the Independence sites and seeing The Philadelphia Orchestra accompany the film La La Land at The Mann Center!
