My mom came this week and watched Christian for us overnight so that we could escape the city for a few days. We took the train to Philadelphia, saw the sights there, and then drove to Gettysburg. We stayed at a bed and breakfast on the battlefield and toured the whole area. On the way home, we stopped in Hershey, PA for some chocolatey goodness. It was such a great trip (Thanks Mom!). Here are some pictures of our adventures:
Independence Hall
They have Independence Hall set up like it was when they signed the Declaration of Independence. We took a fun guided tour.
Liberty Bell
Eating a Philly Cheesesteak in Philly
The cool Bed and Breakfast where we stayed...It is located right in the middle of where the fighting occurred on the first day. Now, there are lots of statues and memorials in the area.
Jonathon got to drive a Prius on our trip. He spent way too much time checking out all the cool gadgets and watching the bar graph of our gas mileage (52.1 miles per gallon by the end).

Sarah waving while on the chocolate ride (much like "It's a small World", it tours the factory and teaches about chocolate making...oh and it comes with free samples)
