After a few months of rest from my very first trip into the House of Mouse & DCL,

I thought I would get around to beginning my pre-trip report about all things United States history wise......from the perspective of a solo ABD traveler who has never been to the northeast USA and this is also my very first ABD vacation.
And to get ya brought up to speed as to the cast of character.......well that's moi - Kris - a Disney fan and ardent fan of all things Disney. I would take Ladybug (13 year old female Beagle) with me, but this is one TR that as that announcer says on some of those Snoopy/Charlie Brown shows:
NO DOGS ALLOWED (just kiddin) but anyway...she is being well taken care of while I am gone out of the state .
Anywho - I had one incredible time at WDW / DCL in January and now am ready to take on Philly, Wash DC and Williamsburg Va. I have a pre-day tagged onto this trip (Thursday Sept 17th) and am looking at checking out the following on that day:
1). Update on renovations / rebuilding part of the Presidents House (started May 2009 & not finished until May 2010).
2) Check out Betsy Ross' house (since we only walk by it during early am of day 2).
3) Putt Putt golf at Franklin Square OR just walk around "the historical section of Philly" & take pics where I can.
4) And of course, gotta end my pre-day with a cheeseteak at Campos.
5) check out the Hyatt's swimming pool afterwards! WHY NOT?
Now am on Friday Sept 18th? Well....
1). Looking into whether or not I can take a tour of Lincoln Financial Field (if I go, I promise NOT to wear my Dallas Cowboy T-shirt).
2). If not, then... (still thinking here).....I welcome suggestions.
3). Break for lunch at ???? I welcome suggestions from you - the reader.
4). Mutter museum?? - -
5). Be back at hotel by 4-4:30pm for the welcome dinner meet at 5:30pm.
TO BE CONTINUED..I am working on this tr and will continue to build on it as the days progress . And I promise to take plenty of video and pics where I can.
Hmmmm....now if only one of these would go good with a Cheese Steak! .
