This is one of my favorite pictures from our trip. We were having a nice dinner in Lancaster and Isaac asked Jake to write, "I love the Red Sox" on his forehead. Of course, Jake wrote, "I am a dunce" and then we all laughed until Icky cried.
On our way out of Lancaster we took this picture of an old church that was once a stop on the Underground Slave Railroad. We didn't stay long though because it didn't seem to be in a great part of town.
We made our way to Valley Forge where General George Washington camped with his troops in the winter of 1777. These are replica cabins.
Beautiful landscape at Valley Forge:
This home was at Valley Forge when the encampment started. George Washington rented it for his winter headquarters. Martha came to stay with him for four months during the winter. It is a beautiful colonial house. I wanted to pick it up and move it to Utah. 
We then visited the George Washington Memorial Chapel at Valley Forge:
After leaving Valley Forge, we drove 20 more miles for our destination of the day: Philadelphia. We stayed in a hotel right across from this beautiful city/county building:
Philadelphia is the "City of Brotherly Love" because that is what Philadelphia means in Greek.
A city shot we took while we were looking for H&M. Philly was a little dirtier and less charming than the kids thought it would be.
