Philadelphia Phun

The kids had a 5 day weekend and Riley gets antsy sitting around that long, so he had big plans for us. First was a trip down to Philadelphia to see the sights. It sure was a right chilly day, but it was better than sitting home in my nice warm house. I guess.This is Independence Hall behind them where the Declaration of Independence was actually signed in that building! Maybe. We think. Pretty sure. We didn't go inside it. You had to buy tickets.
And this is THE Liberty Bell! THE one!
And this is Benjamin Franklin's grave. There is just so much history out here.
And the last thing we did was tour the US Mint. The coins that have a P on them came from this very building. We couldn't take pictures inside to show though. Adam was pretty excited for this. He's been collecting coins for a couple years.
