The Boys Are Back in Town Tour essentially came to an end after this cache. There was a lot more on the agenda, but the humidity had taken its toll on the youngest member; he was exhausted and Daddy felt bad mving him around when all he wanted to do was sleep. We decided to hold the rest of the tour another day.

Before we left though we visited this wonderfully-kept historic building. While the throngs keep Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell crowded two blocks away, Carpenters’ Hall was quiet. A few people mingled about outside, but we were alone inside.

It’s inspiring being here. I teach about the First Continental Congress and it is really neat to be right where it all happened. That my son could be there where some of the giants of our nation’s history walked made me feel proud. For his part, he could not have cared less. Some day though . . .

Again we were flying blind with what we needed for the confirmation code. Damn Garmin! But ON and I must think alike as I had the needed information here too. Yeah!
