Independence Hall

 I have very dim memories of Independence Hall from when I visited Philadelphia while interning in D.C.  I went for a day with a bunch of other interns and we weren't there very long.  I do however remember such a special feeling in the room where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were signed.  

 The boys were excited to see it because the love the movie National Treasure and it is in that movie. 

 Our guide has probably said his piece a million times and by the time we got in there he sped through it so fast I have no idea what he said.  Oh well.

 This is the room with such a special sacred feeling.  I felt the same thing this time that I felt 14 years ago.  How amazing to be in the room where such an amazing piece of history was signed by men who were so brave and selfless.  

 I loved sharing this with my kids.  

 So many times I would look over and see my mom or dad snuggling with my boys.  They made such special memories on this trip.

 This was one of my favorite parts of Independence Hall.  That blue is gorgeous.  It's just a back stairway, but totally beautiful. 

 These boys are so lucky to have such wonderful grandparents.  

 This guy asked if anyone could name on of the original 13 colonies.  McKay totally knew thanks to the fact we live in one of them (and sad to say I didn't know that until we moved to Georgia).

 He got a card with a founding father on it.  Total highlight for him.

 These two cuites!

 This pictures doesn't do this room justice at all.  I love the bold colors in it!

 This was painted on the ceiling.

Wow this place is so amazing.  I'm so glad that my kids had the opportunity to see it!
