Philadelphia

Philadelphia's Skyline.



The Rocky statue.

Washington's Monument







The Pennsylvania Suburban Railroad Station.


We took a horse drawn carriage tour. The kids thought this was the greatest thing ever. Saydie especially loved that the horse wore a hat and tie.





The Liberty Bell was really cool. Skyler and Saydie made up all kinds of stories for why it was cracked.
~Side note: Emily and Saydie's hair does not like humidity. It was going wild!





Independence Hall was one of my favorite places to see.















Our tour Guide. He told us he was in National Treasure. When we got home we watched the move to see if we could see him in it. Nicolas Cage jumps the fence in front of him and scares his horse.

Valley Forge

Skyler and Saydie for President!











Smoke from the battle field. They were shooting off real cannons. It was very cool. You could feel the repercussion from the blast.













These are the balls they were shooting. They start at .50 (the little grey ones). The golfball sized ones are what they were shooting out of the big gun. This gun was seven feet long!















Really don't want to have him as my doctor...









George Washington's House
