So on Tuesday my husband and I drove down to Pier 82 at Coloumbus Blvd, on the Delaware River to meet up with my Father in law. (The last time I saw my Father in law was January 2010, and F.B. hasn't seen his Dad since he came to the USA in 2011).
The ship was docked until the next morning. They were unloading lots and lots of bananas, (that are probably in almost every supermarket in Philadelphia right now.) My Father in law gave us a tour of the ship and we got to visit for about 2 hours. I should have worn my sneakers, instead of flip flops though! Lot's of stairs in the ship!
We needed guest passes to tour the ship.
They were unloading bananas.

All of us.
Up on the deck. You could see the sport stadiums, etc in the distance from up there.
Historic ship also down at Pier 82, that Philadelphia is trying to restore. The SS United States.
In my Father in laws office on the ship.
The Benjamin Franklin Bridge on the way home, stuck in traffic on I-95.
My husband got some Pringles from his Dad, from the ships private stash. Lol.
