In this room the Declaration of Independence was written and later signed. It's the same space that our Constitution was also signed after many historic compromises. It is hallowed ground to those of us who try to inspire the same level of interest as a profession to uninterested teenagers.
I'm not going to lie, I think I almost got a little choked up listening to the presentation by the National Park Service talk about the history in the room.
I'm back at work today after taking yesterday to recover from 72 hours on the go continually. I have a few pictures to share and stories to tell because of course on OUR trip we see a wreck happen within feet of our group crossing a street, a NORMAL free the weed campaign next to Boy Scouts playing frisbee in front of Independence Hall, and oh yes... the morning WE are at Gettysburg we happened upon a Civil War Confederate reenactment showing how to fire muskets.
Commence wet pants for that last event.
The trip was total history dorkery at it's best. Case in point, these awesome socks purchased at the National Constitution Center.
History rules people.
