This is WAY to fun to be school!

The Museum of Natural History, the Art Museum, Jefferson Memorial, feeding the pigeons in the park, Washington Monument, White House, popcorn from a street cart, Reflecting Pool, WWII and Vietnam Memorials, a train ride, Arlington Cemetery, watching the changing of the guard, dinner at a Blues BBQ place on the way home - this was way too much fun to call school!

Eddy, I, and Abby and our friends Rita & Pete and their 7yo twins, Dylan & Christian, took to the city today for a fun, but very educational adventure. We rode the train in (Abby's first train ride - she was so excited), caught the Tourmobile to see some of the sights and explored the rest of the city by foot. Truthfully, I hated the cemetery and the War Memorials, but that's just me. The changing of the guard was really cool though. I had never seen anyone move in such a regimented way. You seriously would have thought that they were mechanical! The rest of everything was great too! I bought Abby a camera a few weeks ago, and she went crazy with it - especially in the Art Museum. It seems she loves art! and I got the chance to see some really famous pieces!

It sounds like a great way to homeschool! We are the Durhams and we homeschool here in South Carolina. We were working on Savannahs blog and saw your name come up so we took a look, and thought we would drop you a note. Have fun on your adventures traveling around the country.
