YAH Purpose

The Young at Heart Ministry is for Senior Adults (those past retirement age) in the Dayton, Ohio area. We provide times of fellowship and entertainment during our monthly Luncheons. We also provide the opportunity to see interesting places and things around the area during our monthly Day Trips. Once a year (sometimes more frequently) we offer a longer trip to see areas far from Dayton. All of our programs are designed to be honoring to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

2016 YAH Fall Trip - Philadelphia - DAY 2

Our days always start with a Continental Breakfast in the Abraham Lincoln Hotel. Once again, I want to thank Rick Bowersox for taking these photos and uploading them for me each evening. I know this makes his days a little longer and busier. Of course, thanks to Janice Bowersox as our nurse and to Greg and Lisa Poe as the group leaders. Our driver is Mel with the blond hair on the right.

All ABOARD!
During Day 2 we traveled to Philadelphia where the group went to the harbor to view some ships and  board the Spirit of Philadelphia for a cruise and  lunch aboard the ship. The harbor also had a number of other ships including the first warship made of all steel. 

First, the Spirit of Philadelphia.
 I am compelled to add the photo of the Tall Ship, just because I love these old ships.

 Lou is enjoying a view of the Olympia, the first and oldest all steel warship.
Time to settle for a nice cruise and meal!

Following the cruise the group enjoyed some free time touring Historic Philadelphia on their own. Since all these photos are taken by Rick Bowersox, this represents his tour and others likely saw more or less.

There are a number of important sights to see in Philadelphia. Independence Hall and the Tomb of the Unknown Revolutionary War Soldier along with the Liberty Bell are a few of them.

Maybe someone will bring me samples from the Philadelphia Mint. This mint has moved three times as coinage requirements increased. So, obviously this isn't OLD.


 Often, I think our country has forgotten our Religious Liberty!
It is good to see both of these items on display.

Following the tour, our group returned to Lancaster for nice meal at the Deluxe Diner. Each person had already pre-selected their choice of meal.
