While reviewing some old pictures early this morning I came
across this batch. They were taken in
Philadelphia, in the Independence Hall area, in about 1988, on July the 4th. On this trip we went to the Gettysburg Battlefield,
Monticello (Thomas Jefferson’s home), Valley forge, and on July the 4th
Independence Hall. We planned it that
way to hear Jimmy Carter speak there.
By
accident, or a detail overlooked, Rocky got to sit in the VIP section on the
stand with Jimmy. That is Adam playing a
harmonica in the park next to the Liberty Bell.
And the framed outline of a house is Benjamin Franklin’s make-believe
house.
The next day we drove straight to Washington DC to the
Federal Archives, with no place to park we illegally parked in a handicap space
and rushed in the building (it was almost closing time) and saw the original
Declaration of Independence face to face which was just about what this vacation was all
about.
