In addition to apple picking, we took my parents to Valley Forge. My dad is such a history junkie, so we knew that he would love being in the same spot that George Washington once was. As planned, we took the trolley tour around the park. It was a beautiful day (a little chilly maybe for the Floridians) and we were able to see a lot of the park from the trolley. It really is amazing to think of what happened on that land over 200 years ago. To see the home that George Washington stayed in, to see the fields that the army trained in, and just to hear the story of that winter is just amazing. We live in such a wonderful country, with such a rich history. I wish that more people were aware of how this country was formed: the courage, dedication, faith, and hard work that our founding fathers and mothers had is inspiring.
We are both so excited that this great park in only 20 minutes from our house. I hope that we can make it back a couple more times before the weather gets too cold for my thin blood!

Shelley & Mike: You two should hire out as tour guides. We have a great time. The weather was exceptional but the time we shared with you guys was the best. We love you! Mom & Dad
