So for those of you who don't know, I was on the Chemical Engineering car team. We went to Nationals in Philadelphia to compete with our car. All the finalists from the nation were there. We ended getting about 10th place out of 35, but we were fine with that because we got a free trip to Philadelphia. So here is a slide show of my trip. I loved Philadelphia. I got to see the beginnings of our nation. My favorite part of the whole trip was being able to be in the same room where our Forefathers first wrote the Declaration of Independence declaring our independence from England. Then after the Revolutionary war with George Washington sitting at the head, the constitution was written and signed in that same room. It was such an amazing feeling to be in the same room where the American government was invented by men like Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, James Madison, and 37 other representatives from the 13 original colonies. We also had a chance to go to the church built in 1727 where George Washington and Thomas Jefferson would go to church every Sunday. America and Chemical Engineering rocks!

Very cool. We loved it. I think the slide show was messed up though. We only got to see about 20 pics, if there are more let me know and we'll go see them again. I need to go there!!!!
wow lots of history in philly.
looks like fun. thanks for the pix. I have to say i was a little dissappointed in byu's car. I was picturing a more space shippy car that humans could drive in. like that silver one that the competitors had.
but good job anyways.
ps.
please take off word verification.
This looks like so much fun, but we know you missed us. hehe. We love museums!
10th out of 25 is good for a national competition! I loved the picture of the old graveyard... very cool- i would probably be scared though.
Your blog is looking so cool!! (BTW, take off "word verification", somewhere in settings) :)
