Of my most passionate interests, the top five absolutely includes: History, the Outdoors, and Travel. I have written before about how much I love to combine these interests into synergistic, amazing, and meaningful experiences - and the Philadelphia trip is on point to deliver just that.
I mean, check out this itinerary:
- We tour the Gettysburg battlefield, eat Philly cheesesteaks, take a river tour, and see the Liberty Bell.
- We will catch a Phillies game, ride bikes and subways, and see great public art at Love park.
- We will go into Independence Hall, run the (like Rocky Balboa) the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and stroll down the oldest alley in America.
- We will stop for a day in Washington DC, explore the National Mall, visit the US Holocaust Museum, and get our (authentic) grub on in China Town.
And I will get to do this with other great teachers, my wife, and 75 ecstatic teenagers - who are capable of anything. And I have no idea what is going to happen in between the sights of Philadelphia - but I know that it will be a grand adventure. And we will learn. And we will grow. And we will never forget it.
