Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This is the front of Independence Hall. I think this is where the Constitution was signed...? (Haha, go AP Government students! Yesss!!! LOL just kidding.) Actually, I'm sure this time, this is where the Declaration of Independence was signed, way back in 1776. Cool stuff.
[to the right] This would be the back of Independence Hall. Just trying to give you different perspective. (Sorry about that huge black blot in the picture. That's my finger. I'm not that great at photography. =D)
[below] This is a reading of the Declaration of Independence. Technically, the Declaration wasn't read to the citizens of Philly until four days after it was signed (July 8, 1776). Every year they commemorate this by re-enacting the reading. We were only in Philly for one day, but we picked the best day to go! So this is the re-enactment of the reading, which took place in the backyard of Independence Hall. (It was pretty neat.)
This is the world-famous Liberty Bell. You can't really see the crack in it, but it's there. It's enclosed in this nice little environment because it's really old, you know, and the whole thing might break in two if people keep touching it. So it's cordonned off from everything. (Independence Hall is off in the distance, if you can't tell.)
Washington, DC
This is my family in front of the White House. I like this picture. =D Pretty neat, huh?
My brother, looking not so happy in front of the U.S. Capitol. (Then again, it was really hot and muggy that day. I don't blame him.)
Hershey, Pennsylvania
This is at Hersheypark in Pennsylvania (and some random old guy with his shirt off walking around). It's pretty much a cross between Knott's Berry Farm, Magic Mountain, and Disneyland. Lots of rollercoasters and scary living chocolate bars walking around, plus a real wildlife park thing, it's pretty awesome. Anyway, this picture is taken in front of the awesomest ride ever: the Roller Soaker! It's part roller coaster (you go around on a track with your feet hanging down and stuff) and part water ride (you dodge water obstacles, plus people shooting at you from below with waterguns and stuff, and you also can dump water out at people! it's so fun)! They should make one of those at Magic Mountain or something. =D
well those are all my east coast pictures... where do you want to go now?
