Colonial Williamsburg was a disappointment. We expected more interaction with the historical charactors. It was just an expensive museum.
Our 1st place to explore in New Jersey was Atlantic City. The casinos are right on the ocean.The water/light show at Ceasars was great.Coral spied this strange spider web. They are everywhere along the roads in New Jersey.As we are just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia we decided to see the sites. The buildings were interesting.Here you find the intrepid explorers aboard a double decker bus in Philly much like the colonist must have done.
The Liberty Bell had a long line to view. 1.5 million people come to see it every year. I used to think it was dropped, causing the crack. The truth is that it was a flaw in the casting and cracked the very first time it was rung.Rocky was missing from the museum steps!We later found him hiding in his own park near by. Can you find Waldo? It seams that the Museum Society felt the the Statue was "Not Art" and had it removed a few years ago. After public outcry the statue was returned, not to the steps but it's own park near by.
The Canadians dressed Rocky up during the playoffs and suffered the curse of Balboa by losing the next day.
Our tour interrupted a wedding party taking pictures.Coral thanks the horse for the ride around Philly.On our next visit with the grandkids, we plan to cruise around Philly in the "Duck". This tour floats down the Delaware River as well as exploring the city. While in Pennsylvania we decided to visit the Amish. Our adventure begins here in the little town named, Bird In Hand.
This little guy was at the Plain & Fancy Farm petting area.
Coral and Ralph consider becoming Amish. Ralph puts his foot down and refuses to give up the hat. He wants to be Amish.
After much discussion the Amish found a way for Ralph to become Amish!

We took a ride in an Amish carriage.
These are Amish children in training.
This family is on a stroll.
Ralph talks the Amish life over with the carriage horse.Coral considers a Helicopter ride at an Air Craft Museum near our campground.Coral decides to fly the Space Shuttle instead.
The grandkids will be here soon. I can't wait to see the Statue of Liberty with them!
