Hi all-

I'm currently working out an East coast trip for myself and my girlfriend. Been living in AU for 4+ years, met a girl, and now it's time to bring her home to see the parents.

After a few days at my parents' place we'll be heading up north. Plan is to fly into DC on the 28th, spend 1.5 day there and on the 30th take a train up to Philly, spend sometime going through Independence Hall and Liberty Bell and then it's off to dinner at Morimoto's as it's her bday (and we're fan of Iron Chef, blablabla). Then on 31st we take a train up to NYC and spend the remainder of the trip there.

So .. is it worth cutting DC short, or even skipping it, and stay longer in Philly? Is there anything else to see in Philly aside from those two attractions? I ask because I'm thinking of putting ourselves up in a nice hotel and if I do then a night stay seems pointless but is there anything to do/see in Philly for two days?

Thanks all.
