McKay learned about monuments the past year in Kindergarten and in the end they had to say which of the monuments they most wanted to see. McKay said the Liberty Bell. That is what got me thinking about going to Philadelphia. I have been ther before, but only briefly while I lived in D.C. I recently read the books 1776 and John Adams as well as one about George Washington and those also made me want to get back to Philadelphia. It isn't too far away from our house, so we decided it was the perfect family vacation. When I told my parents we were going there they said how much they would also like to go, so we invited them to come along and were thrilled when they accepted our invitation.
The Liberty Bell was the first thing we saw when getting to Philadelphia.
They have done so much for the Liberty Bell since I have seen it. When I saw it in 2002, it was in the courtyard of Independence Hall. I remember being a little disappointed about the lackluster of it all. I really like how it is set up now with a whole thing to educate people about it.
Can I tell you how much I loved experiencing it with my parents!! We haven't seen them since Thanksgiving and it was wonderful to meet up with them.
I loved this shot of the Liberty Bell with Independence Hall in the background! It was a great way to start our trip!
