We headed to the Christ Church cemetery and when we got there, the boys were sort of done for the day, so my parents and I explored while Josh and the kids went and got the car.
The best things we found was Benjamin Franklin's grave.
Seriously, the history of this cemetery was amazing.
After the cemetery, we headed down the street a few blocks to Christ's Church.
We saw the pews of prominent people in coloniel times. This one was for George Washington.
I love old churches. The guy who gave tours knew so much, my mom was in heaven asking questions about all of the history.
This is one of the books they used and a passage about King George has been changed.
We really loved all of the history in Philadelphia. I went to Boston a few years ago and had such a neat experience learning about coloniel times and this felt like a continuation of that.
