(This is a copy of the Declaration – the original was in a low-lit booth that was nothing but blur without flash.)
We have a new perspective on the 4th of July, having now seen the real Declaration of Independence and the National Archives. Craig noticed representatives from only 12 of the colonies signed their names. How fun he noticed! Rhode Island was missing.
We watched the movie National Treasure after we returned home, and it was so fun to see all the familiar places!
It was well-worth the long line to get in.
Happy Independence Day!!
