Our first stop of the day was Philadelphia. We went to Independence Hall to see where George Washington sat, where the declaration of independence was wrote, the old court house room, and the original declaration of independence (unsigned).
We also saw the Liberty Bell. It was a little let down for the kids, they expected something a little bigger. But hey, now we can say we saw it.
This is the kids with Betsy Ross. She showed us how to cut a star with only one snip of her scissors. While the kids were getting their picture taken. I put a dollar in her cup thinking it was a tip jar- but no it was just her drinking water. Max and the kids laughed about that all day (and still bring it up!) We toured the home Betsy Ross rented, which was very small for so many people leaving in it.
We also went to the US Mint to see how coins were made. Unfortunately, it wasn't one of our favorite stops. There wasn't much to see. A lot was blocked off, either for protection or remodeling (not quite sure) but none the less we weren't to impressed with the mint.
