We spent a weekend in Philly. It was so fun! Here are some of the highlights:
One of the printed copies of the Declaration of Independence. They also had George Washington's copy of the Constitution, where he made a correction in his own hand.
The inkstand they used to sign the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
Megan's favorite part: playing with Sam.
Philly's BEST CHEESE STEAKS!! Hands down. I am already craving another one.
The Liberty Bell.
The room where they signed the Constitution. This is where the title of the post comes from. The guide was asking the audience to name people who signed both documents. Some person in the back of the room kept saying: Abraham Lincoln! in a totally confident voice. Luckily the tour guide never dignified it with a response. It was pretty funny.
Where the US Supreme Court met from 1791-1800. Russ can tell you all about Marbury v Madison if you want.
