We only had a half of a day to explore before we
headed back home. We got up early, had breakfast and packed, before
we headed out.
We decided to visit Museum of the American Revolution,
we had passed it a few times while out walking
and the Diva really wanted to go.
I am glad that we did. It was the most hands on museum
that we visited while in Philadelphia.
This museum was great! Lots of the great history mixed in
with hands on opportunities for the kids to enjoy.
History is a lot more interesting when it is hands on.
I really believe you learn a lot more this way.
We watched a show on the journey of General George Washington's
headquarters tent from the Revolutionary War. At the end of the the show we
got to see General George Washington's tent from the war.
The tent is on permanent display at the museum, but you are not allowed to take
photographs of the tent, due to the age of the tent.
We spent a few hours exploring the museum
and learning about the Revolutionary War and then
we walked back to our hotel and made the drive back home.
We had a great time in Philadelphia and I am glad that we
took the time to visit.
I found the city to be very family friendly and had a
ton of things to do.
We could head back for another long weekend, because we still
have a long list of things we didn't get to see.
