We visited Valley Forge and learned the true story of the important role this six-months hiatus from the war played in the Revolutionary War. The arch is there at Valley Forge.
Then we went to the Delaware River where General Washington had his Army cross the river under the cover of darkness to defeat the British and Hessians at Trenton, NJ. There is a very cool and very large monument there in Trenton.
Then we went to what is left of Edison's Menlo Park, NJ facility where the light bulb was invented. There is a large monument there and the remains of the foundation of the Office. Then we went to the large East Orange, NJ Edison facility.
Today we went to visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The photo of me standing in front of the wood stand-up table is in the same room that my Grandfather, George John Marin and Grandmother, Marie Loos (GGM) and Ann's Grandparents from Sweden were processed to enter our country. Each of them stood at one of those tables. It was uncanny standing there because a very large percentage of the people visiting the Statue and Ellis Island today were speaking other foreign languages - just as it would have sounded like back when our Grandparents presented themselves in that room.
The last photo is just a little frivolous  Richard
