Day 24: Wednesday, the 23rd of July, 2014

Pop Quiz!

(I may be a homeschooler, but I do know what those are!):

In what important political document are these words found?

 “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union...”
  1.  The Constitution of the National Worker's Foundation
  2. The Preamble to the Constitution
  3. A speech given by Martin Luther King Jr.


I sincerely hope that this quiz was not difficult. If it was, maybe you should look into homeschooling (totally kidding!!)

Well, those words were written (or at least signed) inside of Independence Hall, which was our first stop.

It was built to be the Pennsylvania State House. The Second Continental Congress met here. Also, the Constitutional Convention. George Washington was appointed Commander-in-chief, and the Articles of Confederation were adopted.

It is an eventful building!

We also went to the Independence Visitor’s Center, and to the Liberty Bell.

Then we drove up to D.C. It was about nine before we got there. We went to stay at my Aunt E      ’s

That day was my cousin E      ‘s birthday (their names actually start with E).

We slept at that house for the night.

Lookin' good!
