After the 4 hour drive, we set up our campsite, explored the campground and cooked dinner. The next day, we drove into Philadelphia to hike the Heritage Trail, which included the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Christ's Church and the Betsy Ross House. On our return trip home, we stopped and toured the Valley Forge Historical Park. We saw Washington's Headquarters, the Memorial Chapel and plenty of the replica huts along the 5 mile hike. Kudos to our adults drivers, who managed not to get lost on the Pennsylvania Interstate Highways, despite Mr. Bailey's driving!</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="22709c70.jpg" border=0 width="265" height="199" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="22b09c70.jpg" border=0 width="265" height="199" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Our campsite at Camp Delmont.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="22d09c70.jpg" border=0 width="265" height="199" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="22f09c70.jpg" border=0 width="265" height="199" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> At Carpenter's Hall.                                              At the Liberty Bell.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="2332ca10.jpg" border=0 width="556" height="417" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Outside Independence Hall.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="23509c70.jpg" border=0 width="265" height="199" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="23709c70.jpg" border=0 width="265" height="199" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> We toured the inside of Independence Hall.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="2392ca10.jpg" border=0 width="556" height="417" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> We had a wonderful presentation at Christ's Church.
