It's field trip time again! We took 50 listeners with us to the cradle of our country - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Over the course of a long weekend, we absorbed the sites and stories we'd learned about in school, and learned about those figures whose vital contributions have faded over time.

Through our exposure to the artifacts, places and people at the heart of our country's founding, we began to comprehend that the freedoms we enjoy today were the result of hard-won battles and sacrifices from those who have gone before us; a torch we must pass to those who follow.

You'll also hear stories of ghosts, museums, ice cream, gallivanting, and that most hallowed of indulgences: the Philly Cheese Steak.

Thanks to all of the travelers who made this field trip a success, and we hope to see every listener on the bus someday.

We call the back seat!
