Played Hookey and Went to Jail

We played hookey from (a half day) work two weeks ago and took the kids to Jim Thorpe to see the old Jail and the handprint. {Cause yeah. That's the type of parents we are - it's summer - let's go visit historical sites! Yay!} It was actually very interesting to the kids. Miss L had done a report on the Molly Maguires for school, and we'd wanted to take her then, but it was winter and the Jail was closed. It was worth the trip.

The door is made up of a layer of oak, a layer of metal,
and another layer of Oak.
