Today we were able to get a wonderful whiff of the rich Philadelphia history. Our first stop was the Liberty Bell, which has been moved into a historic museum where they have a self guided tour explaining the history and background of the Liberty Bell. The original crack and everything is still on the Bell. I love history and learning about the foundation of our country. It was such a solemn experience being able to see first hand where the Liberty Bell came from.
After learning all about the Liberty Bell, we ventured across the street to Independence Hall. Here, we took a tour and were educated about the founding fathers of our country. We were even able to enter the same room where they signed the Constitution. Most everything in the room is a replica of what was once in there. The only original piece of furniture is the chair behind the desk, in the left hand side of the picture. That is where George Washington sat. What a humbling experience it was touring this incredibly historic and monumental building. Touring down town Philly and being able to learn so much about our Country's history made me love America even more than I already did, and all you need is love.
