American History- we ventured to downtown Philly to experience the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall (where the Declaration of Independence was signed). Seeing the bell was really cool - we really enjoyed learning about the history that has made it larger than life - starting with this country's forefathers and going through time for women's rights, Martin Luther King, the American Indians, etc....
Independence Hall has some really cool architecture and it was somewhat surreal that we were standing in the rooms where pivot points in America's history took place.
Supposedly the room where the Declaration was signed

Of course, a visit to the Philadelphia Art Museum and running up the steps just like Rocky was a must. Here's pic of the Rocky statue.
We also make our monthly drive down to D.C. for our temple trips followed by taking the metro into the Smithsonian and Monument area and exploring.
