So mandie_rw turned 12 today and we celebrated with a trip around this historic area. We met up in the visitors center (Alice and I were late, probably my fault, I had trouble waking up). First stop on the winter adventure tour was The Betsy Ross house. Where they have an appropriate display of kitch

Independence Hall was the next stop, where I took zero pictures. We stood in line waiting to get in with a revolving line of tourists waiting to take pictures with us. I don't mind posing for a photo now and then but my face was starting to hurt! I kept telling everyone Amanda was getting younger and younger, by Independence hall I think she was down to 17 or 18.

After our delicious lunch we went to the portrait gallery and then suddenly all too quickly Rob was there to pick us up and the day was over. But it was a wonderful time! Hopefully Amanda will have a birthday next year so we can do it again...now i should probably pack up stuff as we move in two weeks! yikes!

the rest of my photos are here

We're having a winter regency outing to celebrate mandie_rw's birthday (although she's pretending it's not her birthday hoping I'll forget. HA!) and I had happily picked out this gown from the MET to do a spin on in a pink wool-like-fabric from Jomar (It's probably a blend as it's Jomar and therefore alllll a mystery).
