Philadelphia

 So many neat and important things happened in this building and it is always special to see where the beginnings of our country took place.  Philadelphia was the capitol of nation while D.C was under construction and getting ready.
 This is the court room inside Independence Hall.
 This room is just amazing!  I have been in this room twice now and every time I walk in I get chills.  This is the room where our founding Fathers wrote and signed the Constitution.  The spirit seems to always whisper that this was an inspire document and given to our country by God.
 This is the actual chair that George Washington sat in to sign the Constitution.
 Independence Hall is really beautiful.

 The Declaration of Independence.
 The ink feather pen that George used.
 While the nation was building the Capitol this is where the House of Representatives was.  It was in this room that George Washington was inaugurated President.  It's also where he ended being President and it is said that everyone in that room was crying when Washington was done being President.  Everyone loved that man.
 The Senate room.
 The Liberty Bell!


 Elfreth's Alley is the oldest residential street in America.

 Betsy Ross's house.
Benjamin Franklin and his wife Deborah's grave.
