    A week off from work.

    My wife and I took my son down to Virginia, for a week. Heres some shots of the week. We stoped off in Phili to brack up the ride.

    The Liberty Bell, not an easy task getting a shot with out a bunch of people in front of it.

    Wonderful photos, the last time I was in Philadelphia, we could not get near the Liberty Bell, the lines were just too long, it is a beautiful city, thanks for the photos.

    Great photo's. Never seen the liberty bell for real. It is on my list though.

    That's a great 'upwards' shot of the Independence Hall.

    Thanks for sharing them.

    I just love American history, and the birthplace of the United States of America,
    would like to learn more. Thanks for the great pictures.
    Do I see coins on Franklin's tomb.
    Is that some sort of tradition!

    If you toss a penny and it lands heads up you get good luck for a day.

    Thank you for sharing, sir. I believe that is one of the few unobstructed pictures I've seen of the Liberty Bell.
