We spent Monday the 29th down in the city. It was cold and windy and we hadn't planned on doing much outside, but things turned out otherwise. I had call the parks department in the morning and they told me it wasn't busy and there shouldn't be a need to make a reservation to go into Independence Hall. So, I didn't make one and of course when we got there all tickets had been gobbled up. Needless to say the troops weren't real happy.
Instead we took a carriage ride through the historic district. The ride was only 30 minutes, so the cold didn't become too extreme and unbearable. We ate lunch at the Bourse and then went to the Federal Reserve, which really wasn't too interesting. The highlight of the day, or maybe it's really the lowlight, was on the way walking to the Fed...Oscar nearly got run over by a bus. He started to cross an intersection without looking, but a woman grabbed him by the hood and might have literally saved his life. We got on to him real good to say the least.
