Maryland

We woke up this morning in Philadelphia. We made our own waffles in our hotel that had a bell shape in the middle. The boys loved it! The boys outside Independence Hall (which was not named that originally, of course, since that would have been treason at the time).
This is us at the Liberty Bell. The crack is on the backside which is why you can't see the crack. It was a little crowded...
Independence Hall...
Jeremiah penning his own Declaration...
This is the room where the founding fathers decided to declare independence. The doors were shut and curtains drawn. George Washington sat in that very chair to preside over the writing of the Constitution.

For lunch we found something you'd never expect... a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. Jeremiah was a HUGE fan! Josh... not so much.
George Washington observing while Joshua signed his name to the Constitution.
Make sure to notice Jeremiah with Nana in the background...
You can tell Jeremiah took all of this very seriously.
We ended our tours in Philadelphia with a stop to a turn of the century soda fountain for the best banana split I've ever had in my life!!

Tonight we got in to Cambridge, Maryland to visit with Phil's Mom and Step-Dad.

That does look like one tasty banana split! I've always wanted to visit Philadelphia but haven't yet had the chance!
