History 101

Remember these good 'ol guys...Tom and Ben, and John. Here they are presenting the draft of "The Declaration of Independence."

Well lucky me, Landon and Kambrie get to go to

BOSTON

where we're going to visit some of the sites where this happened:

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. The American Revolution was the political upheaval during the last half of the 18th century in which the Thirteen Colonies among the possessions in North America of the Kingdom of Great Britain at first rejected the governance of the Parliament of Great Britain, and later the British monarchy itself, to become the sovereign United States of America.

I'm excited to learn about the events that led up to the historic break from Britain and the brave people who shaped our national government! Go USA.

It's going to be an amazing historical vacation.

I'm SURE we'll throw a little R&R in there too.

I can't wait! Just hope the cold doesn't freeze our tooshies off.

Adios. See ya next week.
