True Americana-
So folks we went to Philadelphia yesterday, it was a sunny 88’ F, with 3 kids in tow. Does anyone love American history enough to tote kids age 11, 9, and 4 by foot throughout the “independence hall or square”, I can’t remember? Well, maybe people over age 60 do, or history professors, or really big geeks, no offence to anyone out there.
I thought the Liberty Bell was cool, and yah gotta love the volunteers dressed in all the period garb when it’s 88 degrees outside. The buildings were amazingly restored, and most everything is FREE, which is darn cool.
My husband liked it the most, then my 11 year old, then me, then the 9 year old , and the one who loved the history stuff the least was the 4 year old. But, we did take a ferry boat ride and tour a battle ship from WWII. So in the end, everyone liked our family-educational-Americana daytrip.
All, in all I felt very American, and proud of our history and ancestors.
God id good, life is hard, I AM BLESSED,
Carrie

Dude - you cut Ben Franklin's head off! That's not patriotic!
ps - I like the new look - just wish there were some blue-green on that house! ;-)
My hubby and I lived out on the East Coast for a couple years right after we got married and my memories of our visits to Philadelphia some of my fondest of our entire tome out there. So much history and I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude to all of our founding fathers and all those who'd sacrificed to make out country what it is today, as well as feel an ENORMOUS sense of pride to be able to call myself one of those "Americans".
