Forgive me for the order... these two pictures are out of place, but the sleeping beauties are resting for our last day/ travel day home! Can't wait to get back to LC and show off all the pictures! It has been a great trip!
We started day five at the Philadelphia Zoo. This was the first zoo in America and had many, many animals. Again, it was one of those things that I thought might taken an hour or two for us to see... much longer! All sorts of things to see and do! This is out front before you go inside.
It started raining about ten minutes after we got in... we bought ponchos and kept on a trucking! The rain didn't stop us. About 30 minutes later it quit raining and Sis told Boo that was the McKinney luck... buy something and then you don't need it!
We could get so close to the animals as you will see from the pictures I am posting here... We have LOTS more that I didn't put on here!
Peacocks were abundant in the zoo. Boo was trying to make this one fluff... but it wouldn't!
WE took this laughing... we named our entire family in the gorillas, apes, and monkeys! 
Somebody pitched a fit for a monkey... guess who won the battle!
We are leaving the zoo.... and we never saw a real elephant...believe it or not!
After the zoo, we went to the Philadelphia Museum of Art... this is where Sylvester Stalone ran during Rocky. Of course...he only ran the first seven steps (he had a stunt-double), but ran all 72 to the top. This is the statue outside the museum. There was nothing there for years and the tourists were upset because they would go to the top and not see anything depicting the movie... so they put this down front. We still felt the need to run the steps and do the high fist pumps! 
This is the view from the top of the steps!
And then we headed over to the Museum of Natural Science... It wasn't the best, but they did have free putt putt that we enjoyed!
Swimming to end our day was perfect.
Boo put his monkey in the bed while he got a shower. Yes, he is playing the DS.
2nd favorite meal of the trip... Papa John's... oh how we have missed you since being in Greenville! Boo only ate FIVE pieces! He had his shower and then was ready for bed!
I went down to the restaurant in the lobby and ordered this dessert... there was ginger icecream, coconut icecream, two more that I couldn't figure out... and fried bananas!
We head home tomorrow! Will let you know about our trip home!
