Washington Crossing and Howell Farm

Today we went to Howell Living History Farm in Lambertville, New Jersey, and after enjoying the chickens, horses, a sleepy cat and a corn-fetching dog, we went to Washington Crossing Historic Park. There are two Washington Crossing parks, one on the New Jersey side and one on the Pennsylvania side. Today we went to the Pennsylvania park, with its historic houses (which were all closed, disappointing the girls we had taken), the park that borders the Delaware River. We got to watch the end of the last screening of the day of “George Washington Crossing the Delaware.”

I took over 200 pictures, so I’m sure some more will be showing up on the blog soon.

That's a lot of photos for just one day. You'll need to take an empty hard drive when you go to Italy! :-)
Pity about the closed houses.

Truth is, we didn't have much time there, so it was OK with my husband and me that the houses were closed. You can only do so much in one day. These were three very energetic little girls; one wanted to get into a boat to go *on* the Delaware. Wasn't happening yesterday!

Maybe by the time we go to Italy the little flash drives will hold 300 GB instead of just 1.

Sounds like a fun day! I like how the red buildings frame your picture.

Thanks. I was having fun with lots of different kinds of shots while the girls were having fun with the animals.

One of my daughter's friends, who had been warned by my daughter that I take a lot of pictures, said, "you take pictures of everything!"
