Day Two of the Convention Adventure is complete! (And it was another scorcher at 103 degrees!!)
In the middle of the day, we had a 3 hour break to grab some lunch and take a tour of Independence Hall. We opted to walk over. Please forgive me for not taking very many photos... Did I mention how warm it was? (Mom and Dad - remember the Gettysburg reenactment day? Yeah... like that...)
Anyway! Here are a few snapshots!

Anyway! Here are a few snapshots!
We headed over to see the Liberty Bell but apparently the fire alarm had gone off so they evacuated the building and we opted to just take a photo through the window instead of wait around for them to let everyone back in (apparently they had already been waiting for 30 minutes...)
Next up? LUNCH!
We went to the Reading Terminal Market to see what we could find. It was so fun! There were all kinds of vendors (produce, seafood, baked goods, etc.) and they had all kinds of little restaurant kiosks! Added bonus - air conditioning!! We found a cute little deli stand and got some delicious sandwiches.

After lunch, we headed back to the hotel to change and get ready for the afternoon portion of Convention. We had Dr. Samantha Sutton, who is an engineer-turned-life-coach, speak to us about designing our lives - i.e. determining your dreams/goals and then how to help yourself achieve them. We ended the evening with a networking event over appetizers at a restaurant downtown.
The girls and I grabbed a light dinner and then decided to get a little frozen yogurt for a pick-me-up! We found a cute little place called Sweet Endings (Kaleigh you would adore this...)
You basically have a wall of flavors and you can mix and match as many (and as much - you pay by the ounce) as you want in a "little" container...

...and then just add your toppings! They had all kinds of candies, fresh fruits, syrups, etc. Yummmm!!!
Our favorite flavor?
(sorry about my reflection... and the overall poor photo quality... we were semi-rushed with this one...)
Epic success. :)
