A few years back I signed up to be a chaperone for my son Conor’s middle school field trip to Philadelphia. Our mission, with hundreds of kids in tow, was to walk the Constitutional Trail. There’s a first time for everything, and this trip was certainly chock full of them. Our first time to Philly. Our first ever large-scale field trip. And, the first word that came to my mind was chaotic. (Followed closely in numerical order by: What. Was. I. Thinking!) With my trusty iPhone in hand, I had one eye on my band of boys, while the other was absorbing all the history and beauty around me. It was amazing. Promise to self: Return again. Small-scale. Take in the sights, slowly. Relaxed. Just Murph and Conor by my side.
Relax. Sit back. Enjoy the tour!
Happy Independence Day! Love, Nora
Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos and Happy 4th of July!
Wonderful posting for today, Nora!
I have done Philadelphia twice. Once with just our family, and once with my son’s civics club…so, I hear you! 😉 Great job capturing the captivating architectural details! Oh, and when you go back with just your family, be sure to eat at The City Tavern! Great food! (They have a cookbook in print too!)
