Well dont ask and dont judge!!!. Thank you Rotarian Bill owner and operator of Holiday Icecream when I asked for a "large" icecream that was it "Only in America" oh and Lou gushed over her chocolate icecream aswell. Bugger the diet I say.
A Visit to the USS New Jersey
The team had a Village People moment you know "In the Navy" by visiting the USS New Jersey. What an amazing place so rich in history, the New Jersey is notable for having earned the most battle stars for her combat actions. The battleship was huge but the bunk beds im afraid were not as huge.

The Sound of Philadelphia
The team got in touch with their soul side by visiting Philadelphia International Records the birth place of the "Sound of Philly". The PIR was set up by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff as a rival to Motown as the place for new urban artists to emerge and develop the soul and R & B sounds. With artists like the O'Jays and Patti Labelle the PIR has a extensive songbook
You may know some of these songs produced and written by Gamble and Huff. The O'Jays "For The Love of Money" and Billy Paul "Me And Mrs. Jones". The 70's throwback shag carpet floor's and walls were amazing and Red just loved belting out a tune.
The Kimmel Centre
The Kimmel Centre for the Performing Arts is a large performing arts venue located on Broad St in Philadelphia along the stretch known as the "Avenue of the Arts". The centre is very impressive and we all took some impressive shots.
Philly Zoo and welcome to Willingboro
We had a WILD!! time at the Philadelphia Zoo, America's oldest zoo. The team had a tour with Sue Isackson who works in the zoo's hospital we also had a behind the scenes tour of some of the exhibits which was very interesting. The team has also joined up with the Rotarian's of Willingboro club.
