The adventures continue...don't you fret.

So the weeks are getting busier and busier as student teaching is becoming more and more demanding. This means that my blog posts are getting fewer and my thought processes more scatterbrained. I feel like all my creativity is getting sucked into my lesson plans.

Here are some things I've done in the last couple of weeks. WARNING: This is very informational, not so much hysterical.

PHILADELPHIA

We spent a day in Philly with the whole gang. We saw the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall (where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were signed), Ben Franklin's print shop, and visited The Constitution Center (basically a big museum about the Constitution). It was a fun-filled day with a lot of historical sites to be seen. We even grabbed a philly cheesteak which was not my favorite.

Here are some highlights:

Me and my cheesesteak. Can you tell that I'm not that impressed? Definitely a forced excitement on my part. P.S. I feel bored just looking at this picture.

Ben Franklin and I. Did you know he was a womanizer?? Yah, that's what I learned in Philadelphia.All of us with the founding fathers at The Constitution Center. We look beautiful in comparison.

The teacher crew in front of Independence Hall...you can barely see us but we're there.


And the adventure then continued when I hooked up with Sarah J. once again a few days ago. Oh the fun. We went to the National Portrait Gallery and look what we found!

A donut? Too bad it's not edible.


LBJ and I...I am getting tight with these presidents. He held a book in his hand so I decided to hold my own, The Book of Mormon (to find out more go to www.mormon.org).

I was then briefly transported back to Europe...ok, far from Europe but they had this piazza place in between the two wings of the museum. I thought it was cool, so ta-da...here I am!

And then Sarah took more pictures that I did not get so the adventure ends here. This looks like a Susie adventure but I can promise that I did have Sarah with me. Care to testify, Sarah?

Ha! The "www.mormon.org" insert was my favorite part.
