Blue Ridge Parkway, Virginia

I went on a scavenger hunt to find things along the trail. I found a mushroom under this log.

Springfield Armory, Massachusetts

I'm earning so many badges, they will probably make me a full-fledged National Park Ranger! Springfield Armory was very interesting. I learned all about rifles.

Salem Maritime, Massachusetts

I learned about what it was like to be a sailor in the 1700's. I even got to try out a hammock bed in this ship. I learned what kind of things were brought to this country by ship.

Boston, Massachusetts

I walked the Freedom Trail in Boston and visited many stops along the way, including the Old Meeting House, The State House, the North Church and Paul Revere's home.

Minute Man, Massachusetts

I learned about the brave Minute Men who fought the mighty British and won!

Ellis Island, New York

Ellis Island - where immigrants entered the USA.

Statue of Liberty, New York

Awesome! Did you know the copper "skin" on the statue is the thickness of two pennies? That was one of the questions I answered to earn my badge.

Independence, Pennsylvania

We were in Philadelphia for the Fourth of July and visited Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell the next day.
