The Dorkiest Person I Know

Today I accomplished one of the last big goals on my vacation 'goal' list. I went to Independence Hall!! I got up early to go and get a ticket, then came back in early afternoon for my 30 minute tour. I have to say- it was AMAZING. I mean, yeah, the tour is short, but you get to roam around on your own inside the grounds that I usually see from the other side of the rope. I never wanted to leave. Ever. I wanted to sleep on the old benches, hug the old walls, listen forever to the stories about the state house and the hall of congress and the assembly room where the constitution was signed. I photographed everything, so I can look at them and remember fondly.
What I found out is that you only need a ticket to actually get into the building. I can walk around inside the sacred grounds just by going through security! Anytime I want! How cool is that?


Here are some pictures.....

They're all a mishmash of the assembly room (with the grey walls) the senate room (dark green) and the state supreme court (yellowish). And then me of course, looking like a kid in a candy store. I am officially the dorkiest person I know.
