I just have a minute to post before the shuttle gets here to pick me up. Today I finished up with all the stuff I didn't have time to do before. I went to Carpenters Hall where they held the first continental congress, I toured the Dolly Madison and the Bishop White houses.
I then went and "Rode the Ducks" that was really fun. They have taken WWII water/land crafts and take you around to see the sites and into the Delaware river to see the USS New Jersey cruiser that has been in 4 wars and them back again. It was kind of really cool. It got really warm inside it though from the diesel engine so I can image being a solider in those waiting to get out on Normandy Beach.
I then got to visit the National Constitution Center which was neat. They show a video and then they have different stations to see throughout the history of the United States. They also have a life sized replica of the room where the Constitution was signed with bronze life sized replica's of all of the people that were there. That was amazing.
I didn't have time to download pictures but hopefully tonight when I get settled at the college.
I miss you all tons.
