Our original Philadelphia trip was scheduled for February school break, but then we all got covid and had to reschedule our trip. Luckily, Aaron and Paul were still available to host us Memorial Day weekend, and I was able to transfer all our tickets and arrangements for then.
We surprised the kids with tickets to the Harry Potter interactive exhibit at the Ben Franklin Institute, which was not sciency at all but was very fun. We also went to Independence Hall and some of the other buildings there. Our last day there we separated so Beckett and Daddy could go to the American Revolution Museum while Reed and Theo and I went to the Museum of Art. In between we had lots of great time to visit with Aaron and Paul and Ziggy (their dog) and spend time at their awesome community pool.
A highlight of the Independence Hall trip was trading cards with the rangers. I've never seen it at another park but there the rangers had lots of playing cards with historical figures or places, and if you asked them for cards and then answered trivia questions, they would give you the cards. Beckett especially loved working on the Junior Ranger booklet and getting his Junior Ranger badge.
