Hello. A couple of weeks ago while in Philadelphia at the Constitution Center workshop I spend my last morning in the city eating breakfast with Ben Franklin. OK, maybe it wasn't the real Ben Franklin but this was a great experience. I would encourage anyone taking a trip to Philadelphia to check out the "Breakfast With Ben" offered at the Independence Visitor Center on the mall in between the National Constitution Center and Independence Hall. You are treated to a great breakfast, eat with "Ben Franklin" while he tells stories about his life and then can take a picture with Ben in the shadows of Independence Hall. You can call 1 800 537 7676 for more information.
After eating breakfast with Ben, I walked across the street to Christ Church Burial Ground to the site of Ben Franklin's grave. It is a very interesting and historic place where 5 signers of the Declaration of Independence rest.
