I think those places would be great! Especially going to the Anchor Bar, to make chicken wings, and eat them! Then going off to see Niagara falls!

Can visit Philadelphia as the rest stop but road blocks & detorus can be done in Delaware County. Can visit Longwood Garden about 1- 1/2 outside Philly. Try to find the fountain or certain flowers. Also, located 1 of 2 historical Black colleges, or visit Brandywine, travel to Valley Forge. I know the TAR Family Show came through some area of Philly & stay at Fairmont Park. We have other areas to visit.
