Pennsylvania

Right now the location of the RV is Brandywine, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia. We have been visiting a lot of great historical sites here. Yesterday, we saw the site of Washington's Crossing. I got to see the Delaware River. I learned that when the Patriots attacked the Hessians in Trenton, the Hessians were not drunk as some reported, but they were outnumbered and fought hard. We also saw Valley Forge. We saw a lot of cabins that the Patriots stayed in during the brutal winter. We also saw the house where George Washington stayed. The guide pointed out that the Patriots not only stayed at Valley Forge for the winter, but they stayed there until the beginning of summer when it was 95 degrees out.

Today we went into Philadelphia. We saw Independence Hall, which is where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were signed. We saw Congress Hall which is where the old Senate and House of Representatives used to be. You know, DC wasn't always the Capitol of the US. We also saw the Liberty Bell and Betsy Ross's house. Betsy Ross made the first American flag. We came home and swam at the pool here at the RV park and we played Mexican Train. Then I started writing this blog.

Good night,
