Philadelphia Field Trip

Again, not Colorado, but a very good family field trip! We will go for one day to Philadelphia, but longer could very enjoyable. If you are going there you will find a lot to do. See if you can incorporate it into last year or next year's studies. Some of these places have links for teachers with ideas. Check them out.

Most of these can be found with links here:  http://www.philadelphiapass.com/attractions/
