Hockey Road Trip, Fall 2004

Week One - Southwest Sat, 10/16 - Fri, 10/22

Saturday, 11/27 continued

And finally, we visited Congress Hall and Independence Hall.  Both were quite informative.  Did you know, our forefathers had to decide how our government should be operated?  E.G., they had to decide how many presidents there should be and if the common man should be allowed to vote.  Things we take for granted.  In Congress Hall, we learned how George Washington peacefully gave up his presidency to John Adams and that he set the precidence of two terms in office. It was a brand new government back then.  The folks then decided, for the most part, how our government and country would be run and operated.  If you're ever in this part of the country, go on and visit Philadelphia's Independence Mall area.  It's quite worth hearing the history of our country.

Here's Independence Hall.  You can see the barriers around the building and area.  The security has been in place since 9/11.

After our tour of Philadelphia, we went back to John's sister's, Gigi's and then on to a 14th birthday party for his niece.  We ate at a restaurant with talking moose and buffalo.

Here's John's sister, Gigi.  Her daughter was the one having the birthday party.

Here's sister, Tara.  An enjoyable time was spent with John's family.  As I said with my family, time spent with family is never quite enough.
