Independence National Historical Park

I took the kids back to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall since we weren't able to see them the first time we visited Independence National Historical Park.

We took a guided tour of Independence Hall, which was a lovely little history lesson for the kids.

Right across the street is a cemetery, where Ben Franklin is buried.

Right next to that is the first US Mint.  We toured the Mint, too, and saw how all the different coins are made.  But, we weren't allowed to take any photos in there for security reasons.  So I have none to show you.  I will say that it was fabulous, and you should go and see for yourself.
