My son loves the National Treasure Movies so we felt it was time to take him to Philadelphia. He was 7 at the time. My brother lived in DC so after a visit with him, we all went to Philly and got a chance to catch up with our cousins who live there.
We took Amtrak train to Philadelphia from Washington DC. It is very easy to do. I would highly suggest you book tickets ahead of time. They do have a snack car that has a few tables you can sit and eat at, play games or work at. For more info on Amtrak click here: I took this train for about 10 yrs growing up from Ohio to NJ. We always paid for a sleeper car that had beds and a bathroom in a small private room.

Once we got there we got a taxi to our hotel. We usually stay at Marriott's so we chose the Renaissance Philadelphia Downtown Hotel.
