Well, my friend Jamie came up to visit me this weekend. Lots of fun. We went into Philadelphia and saw some of the historical places there. The buildings we went into were all part of Independence National Historical Park. We saw the Liberty Bell, and also went into Congress Hall, Old City Hall, and Philosophical Hall. I'd been there quite a few years ago, but it was nice going back to see some historical buildings and symbols. And I couldn't help but feel a bit special thinking about the Course 3-ness involved in the Liberty Bell! I also liked learning more about the history of Congress Hall (where senate and congress met while Philadelphia was the nation's capital), and the Old City Hall (It acted as both the city's courthouse and the supreme court). Philosophical Hall was more of a tiny museum of art, science, and history.
We got back to my town, and went out to a local Mexican restaurant for some really tasty food, then decided to check out the movies. We decided on Wedding Crashers. There weren't too many choices, and we figured, why not? I guess the movie was pretty funny, but part of the movie just made Jamie and me want to visit Washington, D.C. (the city the movie takes place in). It probably had something to do with our historical site seeing earlier that day.
But yeah, don't want to bore you folks too much. . .I don't want to turn this into a diary where I talk about everything in great detail. So, I'm done.
