We finally did the Philly Tour

In front of the Liberty Bell. Blake loved that it has a "spider" holding it together so the crack does not spread. I was expecting it to be bigger.
In front of Independence Hall - George Washington's statue
We ride in style. Cool way to get a tour.
The kids had a great time. (our friends from Boston were in town and that is their son Jacob. Also have twin 1 year olds, Christian and Weston) At the visitors center you get a flag that has 13 spaces that need to be filled. You walk around and listen to the generals tell you stories of our country. We only collected 6 so we have lots to do with our next set of visitors. Who will it be???
Inside Betsy Ross' house with Betsy herself! Her house was small but cute. She was 1 of 17 kids, and had 6 kids herself. The rumor is she sewed 1000 flags in 1 year.

We also visited Benjamin Franklin's grave and ate lunch at a really cute park.
