This summer our family went to Philadelphia, PA, New York City, NY and several other places on a great family vacation. It was also a great learning experience as Keni got to see several historical sights which really makes history and current events come alive as we homeschool.
This is the rest of the gang...my hubby Brad, and two older children, AJ and Danae.
Of course, I was taking the picture. :) They are standing in front of Independence Hall on the 4th of July. How cool of an experience that was!
We went into the US Mint and learned about the making of money, etc. Keni is holding her very own bag of shredded money. :) Try to piece THAT puzzle together. :)
Sisters guarding the Liberty Bell.
This is the 9/11 Memorial and the most sobering sight that we visited on our trip. As I taught Keni about this day in American history yesterday, it became so much more real to her because she kept saying, "I've been there," particularly when we saw the streets covered in ash. It was a great example of American resilience. We watched several documentaries about 9/11. The best was an interview with President Bush about 9/11.
