Philadelphia

Last weekend was the baby shower for Laura's cousin, Missy.  So, we all went up to Philadelphia on Saturday and saw Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell:




On Sunday, while Laura was at the shower, the kids and I went to the Franklin Institute, where among other things, we saw a cool exhibit called The Art of the Brick.  Artist Nathan Sawaya has recreated many classic works of art using Lego bricks.  There is also a section of his original work.  After that, there was an area where the kids could build with Lego bricks, as well.  Here are some of the recreated pieces:








 And some original pieces:
