Liberty Bell

During the trip to Pennsylvania in 1982, we stopped in Philadelphia to see the Liberty Bell.

From Wikipedia:

"The Liberty Bell is one of the most prominent symbols associated with the American Revolutionary War. It is one of the most familiar symbols of independence within the United States, and has been described as an international icon of liberty and justice for all. According to tradition, its most famous ringing occurred on July 8, 1776, to summon citizens of Philadelphia for the reading of the Declaration of Independence."

Ball Pit Madness

Mom waving from a ballpit. I'm thinking this must also be from Sesame Place. I can remember it smelling like feet.

Or maybe I just imagine that it must have smelled like feet.

Below is Lance, Lee and Kate.

Fun time's over as Jer gets hauled from out of the pit.

A Smile is a Frown Turned Upside Down

Mom and Jer at some theme park in Pennsylvania, slide processed September 1982.

The slide below seems to make it pretty clear that it's Sesame Place.

Below: Jer, Ernie, Kate W, Me, and Bert. On Jer's shirt: "A Smile is a Frown Turned Upside Down." On my shirt: "Lousville Kentucky," and a picture of a horse. I had never been to Louisville until October 2006 while on tour.
