After visiting Betsy Ross House

After visiting Betsy Ross House, I felt surprised about that I saw Betsy Ross and her husband's grave were there. And I hear from April that it was a common style in the past.

In addition, I think the gift shop is very special because they sell many souvenir and collectibles which are about some historic events and people in Philly. For example, Steve found that they have the first soda brand in the shop. Also, I saw there are Betsy Ross costume. Thus, I recommend to visit the gift shop in Betsy Ross House because you not only see many cute and historic souvenir about Philly but also you can buy them home!

Previwe of Betsy Ross House

Betsy Ross House is a well-known place because the first America flag was made by Betsy Ross in this house. The building is located at 239 Arch street in Philly and it was build around 1740. The style of building was from "bandbox" style house. Thus, there is one room on each floor and a staircase from down to up. In the past the house had many different owner. By the late 19th century many people feared that Betsy's home would be torn down and replaced with large industrial buildings and warehouses. In 1898, there were a group of citizens worked up the American Flag House and Betsy Ross Memorial Association to earn money to keep the house. Now, Historic Philadelphia ,Inc. has began leasing the property from the City of Philadelphia.

Fairmount Park

The weather was quit nice when we went to Fairmount Park. There were a lot of people were running, walking and sunbathing. Also, the trees and flowers are blossoming there so the views is really beautiful.

I feel interesting in sunbath culture here. I know it is popular here but in my culture I don't often see people do it. In my culture, many girls don't want to get sun-tan. It's very different that girls like to have white skin in my country than America girls like to get sun-tan. In addition, I remember I always only saw many grandpas, grandmas and kids in the park. I didn't often see teenagers, young people and middle ages but I often see many people from different age group here.

For me, I really like to go to park here because I think it's a good place for relaxing. Also, it's nice place to gain relationships between friends and families.

Last Monday, I went to Fairmount Park again. This my scend time went to that park. It was a really fantastic educational trip, because this time I with my teachers and classmates went to this Park. I remenber that day was very hot, we went long the Schuylkill River' bank. I toke lot of photos, and I saw many cherry blossom，daisies, maples and oaks. there many lovely ducks swim on the river. I feel very close to nature there and it is enjoyable.

In Fairmount Park, I recommemed you can do three sports in this Park, there are rowing boats, riding bicycle and running. It is a good location which you can enjoy the amazing natural enviornment and nice landscapes, you also can enjoy the fresh air in this Park.

To tell you the truth, Fairmount Park is my one of faverate Parks in Philly. I hope go to this park in different seasons.

It was little bit crowed. The nice weather called all the people to come out from their house. we just walked through the course and took some pictures. It will be more great to go to this park at night and ride a bike. We also saw some cherry blossom. It was so beautiful and many people were take pictures with cherry blossom and also we took too.
