Philadelphia, PA

A few more photos from our day in Philadelphia.

OK, so I could not resist this one! Several of Benjamin Franklin's sayings are posted for display, this just seemed really funny to us that day. Who says they did not understand the way of the world in the times of the Founding Fathers?

This is a photo of the room that they would have met in to discuss the affairs of the day. This is also where they would have debated and finally signed the documents leading to our freedom from England.

The sun was set perfectly behind Independence Hall for this photo!

What would a trip be without visiting a cemetery? One that Anna could not detour the guys to go near one. Good thing this one is across the street from the US Mint. Yes, Michael finally got to tour the mint. Sadly, to tour the mint you can't take a camera, cell phone with a camera, or anything that might be able to record anything at all into the building. So Anna got to stay outside while the guys did a quick tour. Funny those gift shops are usually on Michael's to avoid list, but not at the mint. The cemetery is actually at Christ's Church, which is where many of the Founding Fathers would have attended church while in Philadelphia. This is also the cemetery where Benjamin Franklin is buried.

Zach chilling while Michael was taking some photos.
