Valley Forge

Today visited Valley Forge and I left with a completely different picture of history. It was a great side trip, the kids were so happy with all the open area & the people in costume.

Did you know that Valley Forge was actually quite comfortable for the soldiers? There was a lot of death due to disease and infection. There were no battles fought at Valley Forge.

Guns firing! That was the highlight of the day.

Each soldier got a loaf of bread a day, among other rations

The British are coming!

On the bus from Valley Forge to Philadelphia

Tomorrow... Liberty Bell : )
