National Constitution Center

Today we began by going down to Independence Hall & visited the visitor's center-very well done.  Unfortunately Independence hall is being renovated so there is a bit of scaffolding on the exterior as the pic shows:

We plan on going to the hall later this week.  Instead, we purchased our tickets for the National Constitution Center, walked down to City Tavern to have lunch only to find out it didn't open until noon.  So we went and grabbed a philly cheesesteak, threw a penny on Benjamin Franklin's grave and walked to the Constitution Center.  The beginning presentation is good and the exhibits were really interesting.  We also purchased tickets for the special Spies, Traitors, Saboteurs exhibition.  It looked at the history of spying & espionage, terrorism (foreign & domestic) & other topics that focuses on restrictions of personal liberties.  

Finally, I had to get my picture taken with some of the founding fathers while Brent signs his name to the Constitution:
