By Ereka Bailey and Lauren Bergner Day 5 Today, we started our day off early! We departed from our Washington DC. hotel to head to the ever-so-wonderful Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Once we arrived there, we took a tour of the Hall, and then we all parted ways to different street vendors to get original Philly Cheese-steaks. They were amazing! We then had to depart from Philadelphia to travel to the spectacular New York City. When we got close to the city and saw the skyline, we were all in complete awe.  Gov.
