Glad to hear that you were able to make it there. Amish country is a definite favorite of mine. My mother and I went on a private tour in our car around Lancaster and learned so much about how they help each other, how they date, and all kinds of rules that they follow and live by.Nancihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059568423149503394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-62752382132335872142008-12-09T19:40:00.000-08:002008-12-09T19:40:00.000-08:00I counted and while reading your post I got all ch...I counted and while reading your post I got all choked up 3 times and I laughed out loud twice...you are such a great writer.

Chance's class is studying the 13 colonies right now (includintg the City of Brotherly Love), and it's been fun to remember some bits of history I'd forgotten, as well as see it through his eyes. What an area rich, rich, rich in history!Heather @ Multiple Hatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684216457038939469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-87109261422570916812008-12-09T08:00:00.000-08:002008-12-09T08:00:00.000-08:00Philly was the first "field trip" my group of frie...Philly was the first "field trip" my group of friends took during our internships in DC. It was February, and just about as cold as your weekend was. I remember being in awe while standing in Independence Hall, thinking of all the history movies I'd seen of it, and then actually being there. It gave me chills!<BR/><BR/>And then hunting down the best cheesesteak sandwich. <BR/><BR/>Sounds like your trip was great! I love those serendipitous run-ins and catching ups!Deidrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01181514421028402144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-52338318315515741462008-12-09T07:33:00.000-08:002008-12-09T07:33:00.000-08:00I love to hear of the history of different places ...I love to hear of the history of different places and always love to hear the National Anthem sung. It's especially great with men in uniform saluting. Something about those uniforms! I'm glad you had a great time.

I've been to that, but it's been a very long while now.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12695647322001645909noreply@blogger.com
