10/18/2013 ... then decided we had enough time for the Benjamin Franklin National Memorial in the Franklin Institute, so we went past the hotel to see that. We had seen this as kids, but Ken hadn’t remembered enough to make it official. There wasn’t much more to do than check out the statue and projected BF sayings on the wall panels, since we couldn’t hang out for the short multimedia presentation.
