Washington DC

Since this was our only day in Washington DC (Originally, we had planned to be in the area for five days, giving us time to see the friends and family we know in the area.)  We had a busy time, seeing as many museums and historic places as possible.

We started at the Natural History museum. The children were amazed at all those dinosaur bones. Spencer kept asking, "There not alive are they?" We assured him that they were not alive, but he needed to know that each one was just bones. Before we left the museum, Uncle Kevin, and Cousins Laura, Jessica, Joshua and Stephanie met us.

The American History museum was fascinating! Seeing how our country has advanced over the years makes us marvel about how much can be done with the minds God gives us to use for His glory.

Uncle Kevin brought a delicious lunch which we ate at the ellipse in front of the White House. We were thankful for his thoughtfulness in bringing sandwiches, chips, salads and juice.

Resuming our tour, we approached the White House. The children realized who lived there, but they wondered why we couldn't visit the President. The agents were busy clearing the area for helicopter operations.

Our day in DC ended at the Air and Space museum. It was wonderful for the children to see the historic planes they have read about in history class. The Spirit of Saint Louis and the Wright's Brothers plane created great excitement for the older ones.

We were blessed by ending our day at Uncle Kevin's home with Aunt Andre', Grandma Betty and the other Kettell cousins. 

We took many pictures. We hope you will enjoy our Photo Album pages.
