Lisa, John, Tim and Jake Moran at the Valley Forge visitors center. Jake Moran is number 32 at this scrimmage. Jake’s real name is John also. Both Johns are named after John’s father, or Jakes grandfather- who also went by Jake.

Jake is sort of looking at us. The Philadelphia skyline.

Mutter Museum, disturbingly informative medical museum- they didn’t allow photos, which is good, disturbing. . . The Liberty bell replica. The line was too long to see the real one.

Dale Chihuly Freedom Flame at the Liberty museum. It used to be a glass museum, but now it is a glass and freedom museum. In the gift shop I found some art glass by a Denver glass artist I know- Deb Carlson.

a glass chess set- rabbis and catholics. Chief Joseph at the museum. He is sand carved, I was working on learning that technique in my studio- I have a long way to go to be this good.

We stopped on the way home at a local place for cheese steaks. Yum. Reportedly the restaurant has been closed twice for selling horse meat, but it didn’t seem to slow business. We had the Mr. Ed special. . .
