A is one lucky (spoiled) girl! At the end of summer her grandparents took her and her cousin to Washington D.C. My mom has an uncle who lives there and she lived there before she got married and has great memories of D.C. They did more then just D.C and I have tried to get A to do this post so she can explain the pictures but she won't do it. (Only one reason why I'm so behind) So I'll give very little explanation since I haven't been there in sooo long.
Gettysburg
This was a big panoramic picture of the Battle of Gettysburg.
Mt. Vernon, Washingtons house
Arnold Friberg, a mormon artist, picture of Washington and his horse.
In Williamsburg they listened to the Declaration of Independence read out loud. A said it was very interested.
They went to Old James Town and learned about Pocahontas.
In Williamsburg.
In front of the White House. Only picture with all 4 of them. They got to go in the White House for a tour.
In the Smithsonian seeing the Wright Brothers first airplane.
Waiting to go in the Capital.
Back in the Smithsonian.
Underground getting to the subway.
On the subway.
Looking over the mall and Washington Monument. A had a great time and still talks about the trip. She can also still recall facts she learned on the trip, which impresses me. This year in school she is learning American History and she'll already know so much. Thanks Grandma/pa!!!
