Family Road Trip 2010: Part 7

As our vacation draws to a close, I reflect on all the places we went. I've meet so many new people and learned all kinds of new things. Here are some of the pics. My compy wouldn't let me put up any more. :(

Signing the Declaration of Independence

Barracks on the Jersey

Captains Quarters

Food!!!

William Penn in on the top of the City Hall. The largest statue to ever be put on top of a building. His eye is 12" across!!! What does that say about the rest of him?!?

reflection of City Hall. Can you see William Penn?

Me being my strange self... Peace!!

The worlds first Penitentiary first invented by the Quakers who preferred penance to punishment. The prisoners were left alone with a Bible and had no interaction with anyone for the duration of their sentence. The idea was to get them to repent of their sin. As you may guess though, this penitentiary turned out more delusionals (yes, I made a new word) than reformed criminals. One of the prisoners, Al Capone, got to bring far more than a bible because was friends with someone there and he got to bring his desk, his rug, his couch, and more things I can't remember right now.
