1st History lesson

Last weekend we took Wesley on his 1st history lesson to Philadelphia, PA. He enjoyed the trip and flirting with all the people. His first stop was to Hersey, Pa where he learn how chocolate was made. We enjoyed a chocolate tasting although Wesley did not get to try any. He crawled around the building and played with mommy's ipod. Jonathan and I learned a lot about chocolate and will not eat chocolate in the same way.

From there Wesley travel down hwy 322 into Amish county. He missed the Amish buggies and horses because he was sleeping.


He saw the Liberty Bell, slept through Independence Hall, woke up during the tour of Congress Hall.

He enjoyed Valley Forge by riding in his ergo carrier on his dad back. By the end of the trip Wesley was hitting his dad back like saying move. He loves riding in the ergo on his dad back and if Jonathan sits on the floor Wesley will climb on Jonathan's back.

He liked seeing Betsy Ross House and saw the grave of Benjamin Franklin and he went to the Liberty Museum where he learn about what people have done for his freedom. It was a great trip.

I am impressed he held out for all of that. We can barely go to the grocery without a meltdown. Looks like you all are doing well. Susan Davis
