Oh God a skate rat.... If you have a board and like the do the street skate thing? Go to City Hall Or the Municpal Services Bldg across the street here in Philly. All the Tony Hawk wantabees hang there. Lots of rails & marble for them to play on after hours.

You can visit the Liberty Bell. There are also a lot of other historical things to see in and around Philadelphia. The Poconos are some beautiful mountains though you might like them better a couple months sooner. Have Fun.

Before travelling better search websites & best to study & buy a map.
Pennsylvania was founded on the idea of freedom, no less than William Penn of England started the colony. He wanted a place where everybody has the right to whatever religion they want to. Pennsylvania means "Penn's woodland."
Pennsylvania is the 2nd US State, 6th in US population & 33rd among the US states in area. The nickname is "Keystone State' & its capital is Harrisburg. Other major cities are Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Allentown. Did you know that it is the biggest chocolate -making state in the US?
See the Independence Hall , where the Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776.

Liberty Bell, Pennsylvania: originally cast in England first sounded in July 8,1776 at the first public reading of the declaration of Independence.

It is presently in the Glass Pavilion in Philadelphia and a symbol of US Independence. I guess they have a miniature liberty bell for sale as souvenirs!
