national constitution center

my parents and i went to the national constitution center yesterday. i have to say that mapquest directions suck, but we were able to successfully navigate our way around the city. it was a lot of fun to hang out with my parents. the center is absolutely amazing and i would highly recommend going if you are in/near philly. they had an exhibit on benjamin franklin (a fave of mine -- i know feel inspired to read his biography) and their regular exhibit is pretty good as well. i felt like i was back in the homeschool day because someone (my dad) kept getting in trouble for trying to touch stuff. only thing missing was having to drag my younger brothers through and make them interested in something (okay, maybe they wouldn't have been that bad...). they have a performance before you to go the main exhibit that nearly made me cry. it was so amazing and well put together. it did bring back memories of my horrible poly-sci class, but i was okay with that.
