Kevin and I just got back from a wonderful trip to Philadelphia! Kevin went for a conference and I went for the shopping! We visited Independence Hall (pictured above). I just got goose bumps thinking about the history of that building - we saw the chair that George Washington sat in as he presided over the Second Continental Congress! What really struck me as we listened to our tour guide was the amount of arguing and fighting that went on to form our nation. It took a long time for these men to reach many compromises. It makes me think about how frustrated I get with our politicians from time to time...
We also saw the Liberty Bell (or, as Drew calls it, the "Bell of Liberty") and took a really cool tour of the city. But, most importantly, we had several really great, romantic, fancy schmancy meals ALONE!! We're already planning our next trip...
