These pictures were taken in February 2009.

Give me liberty or give me death. This afternoon we visited two famous Philadelphia sites. The Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. Would have visited a few more sites but it's rainy, cold and windy.

The Liberty Bell was cool. I haven't seen it since I was a kid. Still a significant part of American history and symbol for freedom. There were plenty of people that made it out of today to visit. Glad it was indoors.

Next was Independence Hall. Waited on line outside for 15 minutes before getting inside. I was so cold. Never been here before and was great to get that chance today. I was in the very room that this country got to be in existence. Imagine being in the same room Ben Franklin, John Adams, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and may others formed our country into what it is today. Free.
