so you can't go to Philly without getting a Philly cheesesteak maybe
it's just because it's so authentic glad that we chose this one to see us
bad idea bad idea i just feel like the kids have gotten like gypped
is RV life rough yes travel days are rough
I can hardly breathe
so looking at the map we're gonna drive through Delaware and then
we'll be in new jersey so we get two new stickers Delaware and New Jersey
40 states down now after he gets to the koa we're driving through new jersey
brake lights yeah a lot of brake lights slow down speed up slow down speed up
oh
he's
hey good looking what you got cooking
whoever's up that you can't make like a full-on
big breakfast in an rv it's not telling the truth because we got this good gravy happening
sausage gravy supposed to happen this gets in the convection oven got everything we need right here
without even the oven oven because the convection oven works just as well i've heard you could do
biscuits and cinnamon rolls and things like that too in the air fryer haven't tried it yet but
i've heard which makes sense because it's basically like the mini convection oven but
we've got some of our insiders that are joining us on kind of a summer caravan that are going
to come over for breakfast here in just a little bit so cooking it up it's going to be a fun day
today head into philadelphia and check out kind of the art district of philadelphia today murals yes
it's supposed to be called mural mile so we'll put a link below for like just a map
if you find yourself in philadelphia area and want to check it out that's just the map we're
going to be using to kind of see where they all are located it's kind of in a central area so
you're not driving all over the city but so yeah should be fun day weather's supposed to clear up
how about this campground man in new jersey in new jersey i never would have thought i know
like i just for whatever reason thought that this whole area would be a little bit more urban but
there's like some nice wooded areas and forests it's just it's nice and it's beautiful it's like
you're kind of tucked back away in here and thought that we chose this one to stay up
so here's the rule of thumb you can get there within 20 minutes just walk so you can't go to
Philly without getting a Philly cheesesteak looked up on the goop there's a place called
oh brother Philly and it's got a ton of good reviews we're gonna go get some philly cheesesteak
in the if the rain stops because yep this is not gonna be fun if we really get raised but first we
have to stop and get a picture in front of the yo sign yo sign the yo sign yo everybody say yo
wow that looks amazing
how is
I don't think I've ever really had like a Philly cheesesteak
sandwich before this oh my god maybe it's just because it's still authentic
so that's the plan
so i just feel like the kids have gotten like gypped the last I don't know however many years
on fourth of July because we're always traveling it seems like the last several years we've always
been traveling on the fourth where the fourth itself was like a travel day and so this year I
want the kids to miss out on fireworks on the 4th of July which is today so I found this little town
that is called pitman new jersey that is about seven miles from where we are in our campground
and they have a fireworks show tonight and so this little town nine thousand people don't know much
about it other than what i just like looked it up on google what could be more American
in 4th of July than like experiencing small town usa so that is the plan for this evening
all right you ready to go see some fireworks yes i am this is going to be fun so
small town less crowds i don't know there's just something about a small town fireworks show on
the first july yeah are you excited to go see some fireworks yeah awesome i can hear them yeah
small business do you oh what are you making really all these favorite bracelets oh wow
how much are they uh whoa over there they're only 25 cents 25 cents huh okay then i have
little firework popper thingies oh that's cool charity's putting on some bug spray because when
she gets bit she gets big big old lumps on her leg so she's very allergic i am especially for some
reason the Florida whatever bites me in Florida doesn't react like whatever's biting me up here
oh that's cute what'd you guys get yeah
nice I have a really good idea what are you going to do are you going to chain them all
together yep I'm just going to take one big necklace I'm just going to wear this
wow that's a big old necklace you got there not done with it yet this
is just cool just a small town USA everybody comes out to watch fireworks you can find
so much information for the things that you want whether it's things like fireworks
tonight or free things to do or museums or historical places just google it's all there
on your grandma's porch, it gave us that American dream
to be anything that we want to be it don't matter where you are from
church to an uptown bar don't care if you're black or white or who you love
yes because i got us tickets to go to Philly's game so we are going to take in a baseball game
which is so much fun to do i love being able to do that while we're on the road last year
we were able to see both the marlins and the cardinals in their home stadiums
so tonight it's the Phillies and then we're gonna be in Boston in two weeks they aren't
playing any home games so that one will just have to like settle for a tour of Fenway but
go see the phillies play the nationals tonight go phillies if you come to Philadelphia do some
research on the better areas of the downtown that you want to be in versus there you don't
because we didn't really research that out and we're just like oh look a parking garage pull in
it bad idea bad idea in 7.6 miles take exit 26 on the left to merge onto i-76 toward campaign
so just randomly driving down to the philly stadium we're like driving down like this
harbor area with all three ships and we ran across this monstrosity which is huge so we
decided to stop and take a look but google it and so this is the ss united states you can kind of
see where it says united states on the whole and it is the largest non-military ship ever built
in the united states it was like its service in the 50s but it was also like the fastest
to cross like the Atlantic so you know think titanic or it would go from like Europe to the us
all right
stadium
Philadelphia often called philly is the largest city in Pennsylvania and the second most populous
city in the northeast megaopolis behind new york city Philadelphia went on to play a historic and
vital role in the 18th century as the central meeting place for the nation's founding fathers
whose plans and actions in Philadelphia ultimately inspired and resulted in the American revolution
Philadelphia hosted the first continental congress preserved the liberty bell and hosted the second
continental congress during which the founding fathers signed the declaration of independence
the u.s constitution was later ratified in Philadelphia and it served as the nation's
very first capital Philadelphia's many universities and colleges make it a top
national center for education and academic research currently Philadelphia is the
center of economic activity in Pennsylvania and is home to five fortune 1000 companies
and Philadelphia has more outdoor sculptures and murals than any other American city by the 1950s
people from around the world were visiting america's liberty bell
this battle has played a greater role in history than any other bell in the world
this crack started to form at some point in the early 1840s but we don't know exactly
what this part here was drilled out it might seem a little counterintuitive
like making a crack figure but that can actually stop it
it's actually ringing
so like looking at all of the history and just seeing more i really really wish that you probably
would have paid more attention in history class than when you're learning it but that's the one
thing that we love about rv life is then we're able to take our kids and we're able to let our
kids experience this firsthand because i guarantee you if i had a chance to come to Philadelphia when
i was a kid and see this i would have been totally absorbed by learning more about it
and you know how it is anytime that you have a desire to learn about something you just dig
in that much deeper so yeah the wonderful thing about this is to be able to do that
and to be able to show the kids and it just fuels their learning in new jersey jersey
new jersey new jersey all right oh it's so small we've not been to one two three four
five six seven eight eight six eight states we have it and then alaska 42 oh yeah eight nine
i'm gonna go to new york go to new york yes are you excited to go for a ride oh yes let's do it
so charity went inside walmart to get us some food and then i is she getting bacon Alaska hey
are you listening to me nope i'm thinking about the bacon i'm gonna go get some chicken chicken
some chicken i'm gonna go for a walk over to bob evans get some chicken we're gonna eat some food
and then then we're gonna go for a ride then we're gonna go for a ride in the rv
all right got us some bob evans okay so here's what we get we get some rolls mmm those smell good
buttery rolls got some french fries we've got some chicken
alaska's like i'll pick up any leftovers if you drop them ooh we got some biscuits
barbecue sauce some mashed potatoes all right mama just got back with some groceries
we're going to be going to new york right yeah and there's not going to be a lot of options there
well i don't know but here's the plan the plan is is to really not drive anywhere and so that makes
going to the grocery store a little bit harder if you're not going to drive anywhere just because
we've just heard driving and parking in new york is not the easiest so the plan is is to use the
subway so i wanted to get a good stocked up on groceries so we don't have to worry about hauling
groceries or anything like that while we're there this should last us at least for a week
hopefully are you planning on company you ordered like what is this the family yeah i got the whole
family feast actually oh my gosh it was like 40 bucks i found a coupon online so this has got
to be like breakfast lunch and dinner for the next like three days it'll cover us for a while
so you might be wondering where i am i'm the one filming it
what'd you think
get a little taste of philly here yeah for you some rare behind-the-scenes footage of the man
in the wild the natural element he's going the distance he's going for speed
you like this place alaska i don't like this place i love this place
