I was lucky to visit these two before COVID lockdowns landed on America. It was January 2020 when I found a dirt cheap same-day return flight deal from Orlando to Philadelphia. So I hopped on Spirit Airlines to see the historic icons. Getting to downtown by train was fun but then walking around and finding my way to the destination under an overcast sky and drizzling wasn’t that fun for a winter-shy me. I wasn’t the sole visitor there and people of all ages were visiting and taking pics with the bell. There is a small museum in the hall with liberty themed items and historic records on display. I took a few pics with my old phone before rushing back to the airport by the same train. The short but memorable trip to the cradle of American freedom on budget remains truly special.
