Philadelphia

 

When we went to Philadelphia, we went and saw a lot of the historical sites after church, and the best part was that it was free since it was Sunday!  We went to Independence Hall, and we got to go up to the top floor.  They only let people go up there during certain months.  We also saw the Liberty Bell.  Even now when Tean see's pictures of the Liberty Bell, he talks about how he saw the bell with the crack in it.

We also went to Benjamin Franklin's printing shop and a lot of other cool places.  It is so neat to see all of the history behind those places, and the great sacrifice that the founding fathers went through to create this great country.

Gettysburg




So the day that we went to Gettysburg, it was COLD!!  We enjoyed driving around and seeing the battle sites and learning about the battle and all the sacrifices that our forefathers made for us.

Air Force Airplane Museum








This is from our long trip that we took across the country in Febrary.  I finally got the pictures of of my husband's phone, so since I already had most of this post done, I thought I would show the pictures.  On our way to Lancaster, PA, we stopped at the Air Force Airplane Museum. Tean LOVED it. There were so many airplanes to see. They had the first airplane that the military bought. All kinds of old airplanes used in WWI and WWII. There was the plane that dropped the bomb on Nagasaki. There was the space ship that went into space with Apollo 15. That was the only mission that had all air force people on it. Tean got to sit in a jet. We saw a stealth bomber. It was really cool.
