After a delicious dinner in Philly we went to One Liberty Observation Deck and had a wonderful view of Philadelphia.  The sun was just going down, which added another touch!  I didn’t realize how big Philadelphia was until I saw it from 883′ up or on the 57th floor, it was breath taking!

We had a wonderful time visiting Philadelphia and seeing it from One Liberty Observation Deck. Philadelphia was the nation’s capital off and on from 1774 – 1800. It was founded in 1682 by William Penn and is known as the City of Brotherly Love because in Greek, Philadelphia means ‘Brotherly Love’.

The Philadelphia Pennsylvania Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be dedicated on September 18, 2016. We had the opportunity to go thru the open house. It is a beautiful Temple built with reminders of the city where it sits, Philadelphia. As you enter the foyer there is a beautiful painting of our Savior Jesus Christ, in the frame, above the Savior are two gills, reminding us of the sacred and important papers that were signed in this great city!  To the right is another painting of Benjamin Franklin signing the Declaration of Independence.
