The Franklin Institute


I went to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. And I went through the heart maze and played the games and I even went into a real airplane.  Then we went to get some lunch and then we went back and did a pinball thing.  How the pinball thing worked was:  First you choose a wound. Then you pulled the trigger when the ball came up and the ball was the ball of destiny.   Then it fell into a hole and each hole had a different place and they would show how they would heal that wound in that time and in that place. For example, in ancient Egypt if you had the sniffles they put leeches on the sides of your nose.

I took this picture of Benjamin Franklin.  As we were leaving they were setting up for a wedding right around this statue!

  1. Nobody commented on Ben Franklin?? He founded the University of Pennsylania, where Tita had a very fun, I mean academically rigorous, college experience. Did you like Philly a lot, ASD? Maybe you'll go to Penn, too. Ben Franklin would be excited to have you! xo
