Washington
DC Day Two: October 5, 2008
We went to Washington DC with the kids and Gale and Judy
over fall break.
We figured Laura would spend most of the trip on our hips and wouldn't have
an
appreciation for our nation's history, so she got a trip to Tennessee instead.
The Smithsonian Institute's Air and Space Museum
The Spirit of Saint Louis
Natalie and Cameron check out how astronauts poop in space.
Big planes, old planes
Mr. History Channel was ecstatic over the World War II section
One of the Wright Brother's original planes
Our Capital group shot
We used headphones to hear about the capital rotunda.
A painting of Hernando Desoto's trip up the Mississippi River hangs
in the shadows of the Capital's columns in the rotunda.
