We first took him to see the Liberty Bell- of which he was not all too impressed. His words: "That thing is definitely fake."
So here he is, begrudgingly posing with the phony Liberty Bell, a symbol of America's freedom...
Then I showed him a fake bell. This under-scaled touchable plastic bell gave him a little appreciation for the bell we saw earlier. (The real one...duh.)
He became a little more excited about our PA visit as the day went on. Here he is with my sweet aunt posing in Independence Hall where they signed our Constitution and Declaration of Independence. (And if you look really closely, you will notice his shirt has changed to a snappy tourist tee with Philadelphia written down the side. He really isn't as miserable as he seems.)
We ate lunch at an authentic Philly Cheesesteak restaurant (where I ordered an eggplant parm sandwich) but my more normal cousin got a "prov wit' out & hots" steak. Then, they headed out for the day and I was off to the wedding. It was in such a pretty location. I drove through this great little town called Chestnut Hill and loved every minute of my drive.
And then I arrived at our friends' wedding at a park in the city.
With a very cool sparkler send-off at the end of the night. 
It was a really nice wedding weekend, and now, back to the daily grind. Happy September!

I think that first picture captures his very essence. I can hear him saying those words. Hilarious!
