quick road trip up I-95

We visited our friends Nate, Anna, and Samuel Bird in Wilmingon, Delaware this weekend.  We visited the Hagley Museum where the Du Pont family began their gun powder business.  Below is the one of the mill buildings made from local stone along the Brandywine River.



Sweet Alice is beginning to get a little more adventurous.  I think she is going to keep her Daddy busy as she gets older.
One of the many Du Pont family homes.



The Philadelphia Bank Building.....

The Liberty Bell.........
Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution were created and signed.  The big chair in the middle of the room is the real chair George Washington sat in during the signing of the Constitution.
