Philadelphia

[Chocolatl]

Kitsune, Beans and I will be traveling to Pennsylvania for a wedding in July. Our friends are getting married about 45 minutes north of Philadelphia, so I'm thinking I'd like to take a day or two to see the city as it's the first and probably last time I'll ever be in the area.

Logistics are tough, as Beans'll be 11 months old, so there's no telling how good of a traveller she'll be. (We're already dreading the flights.) I'm trying to get some ideas ahead of time so when it's time to book the trip, I'll be well prepared.

Questions:

Philadelphians, what are the must sees in your city? So far I'm interested in checking out the Reading Terminal Market, and taking Beans to either the zoo or the Please Touch Museum.

Also -- how viable is it to have a car in the city? When we went to San Francisco last year we ended up returning our rental car because there was nowhere to park it anyway. Is Philly a "forget it, just walk" kind of city?

And on a scale of "hot" to "hell," how warm is it in July?
