Revolutionary War Sights

This weekend we took 2 little trips to learn a bit more about the revolutionary war. We went to the Ford Mansion where George Washington had his headquarters 1779 to1780. Below is a photo of the bed he slept in and the kitchen in the mansion. Following that is a photo of a replica of the huts that the soldiers lived in (12 to a hut) during the worst winter on record. After that we travelled along the Interstate Parkway, getting out at various overlooks and stops. It was quite pretty. We also went to Fort Lee over looking the Hudson River. In the background of the pic with the cannon is the George Washington Bridge into New York City. After this we stopped at a huge Japanese shopping center where we had lunch and bought some of our favorite Japanese products, like Asahi Super Dry, Okonomiyaki flour and sauce and yaki soba sauce. This sign was at the area of the appliances.......who knew the laws were so stringent?
