We would have loved to have taken the time to explore the rest of the museum but the weather forecast for the next day didn't look promising and we didn't want to miss Independence Park.
It was really near looking at all the things we have been learning about. We even saw a real Patriot uniform. It was especially cool to see the Liberty Bell.
We stayed in a motel right in the middle of Center City. We talked a lot as we were walking in the cold about what it must have been like to be a soldier during the Revolution. Most did not have shoes.
Another highlight was dinner with one of our graduates and his new wife. It was definitely an unique dining experience. A very modern restaurant.
In just a couple hours we are back on duty...will definitely post more pictures.

Hi, Aimee,
I love your family journal. That's a great way to keep in touch with your extended family wherever they are, and something your children may enjoy adding to later on.
I loved your comments about Philadelphia. I lived there for about a year in the 1970s and would love to visit again. The places you named were some of my favorites. Thank you for the trip down memory lane!
Blessings,

Having the flexibility to take my kids on trips to show them what we are learning is one of the things I love most about home schooling!
Sounds like a great trip!
