To the mothers of the nation. . .

Whirlwind tour of Valley Forge

lc2635


After touring downtown Philly we stopped at Valley Forge. We didn’t have time to walk the place, although it looks like fun to do, but we did take the time to drive it and stop at a few sights.

Some of the old soldier’s quarters.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to go back to simpler times and log homes, but I think I would miss my internet and cell phone.

So much to see! So much history!

The handles I shared yesterday are on some doors here.

Memorials everywhere.


lc2632


The backside of things.

And one of the rows of cannons.

Wouldn’t you just love to have one of these on every door in your house?! Imagine how costly that would be! Is the devil in the details - even in a church?



Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. Don't forget to visit each other. :)
