january 17th - i thought ben franklin was a bridge

There are tons of events going on in Philadelphia this week in honor of Benjamin Franklin's 308th birthday.  Jackie took Alex on his first visit to the Franklin Institute with his friends, Arlo and Grant, this afternoon.  They had such a great time walking through with the boys, who were mesmerized as they entered every room.  Alex was so proud of his bracelet that he got just to get into the museum.  They walked through the giant heart, played in the race cars, and got a crash course in science.
