Philadelphia

We live about 3 hours from Philadelphia, and were able to take a day trip with the kids.  In preparation we had watched National Treasure.  We learned about Benjamin Franklin, Independence Hall, and the Liberty Bell.










































We had a blast joining the Continental Army, and learning about the rations, dental requirements for enrollment, and how to launch a bayonet charge.  Of course we enjoyed the Philly Cheesesteaks and other curiosities in town as well.  I don't think I've ever seen a bicycle bar before!

We wrapped up the day with a tour of the LDS Temple.  They have tours once the building is completed and prior to the dedication.  This is the reason we came to Philadelphia.  I am so grateful for temples that bind families together.  I am so gateful for the opportunity to learn about our Father in Heaven and His plan for us and our adventure here on earth.
