We had so much fun this Fourth. We went up to Burlington VT to visit the Teddy Bear factory, the ECHO aquarium, and Ben & Jerry's. On Saturday, we went to the Saratoga battlefield, the turning point of the Revolutionary War. We got to drive around and look at the various places of battle, see a cannon be fired, and listen to the Declaration of Independence (along with toasts) be read. Our favorite toast was: "May enemies of the United States have an itch without the benefit of scratching". It was really awesome that we were blessed with the opportunity to visit such an important place on the perfect day. We ended the day with a round of fireworks.
