Valley Forge

Last weekend we drove up to Valley Forge PA. It was about a 3 hour drive. The day was cold and windy. It was very interesting. We all know the suffering of the army there. But I didn't know that they got there training there, which helped win the war. About 2,000 people died there that winter. It was a perfect place that Washington picked to winter his army it was up on a hill and the British were only a days ride in Philadelphia. This way Washington could watch and see if they were coming to attack and be ready. Then the next day we went to see Fort Washington. It is only 15 miles from here. It is right on the Potomac river with a straight shot to DC. So that is our fun weekends. During the week Rich goes to work then comes home and does emails. I go to the gym to my yoga classes and crochet. Here are some pictures of our week.
