Abilene Trip

In April our co-op group took a field trip to Abilene to see one of the copies of the Declaration of Independence. We had been studying about that specific time era in our history discussion, and thought it would be beneficial to go.
This particular copy was found on the back of a painting, which was bought at a flea market for $4.
A Hollywood producer ended up purchasing it for over $8 million dollars.
The Declaration of Independence was being shown at the Eisenhower museum, so we enjoyed seeing the attractions included in the area.
The 3 graduates (Andrew, Michael, and Elizabeth) also had a photo shoot together. Included are some of those photos.

(Also, I have decided to try and post once a week in the month of September---so get ready for some posts!!)
