This was one of my favorite places we visited. I felt the walking audio tour was amazing. The films and Imax movies were the best (I am a discovery History channel junkie) . It was hot but a nice breeze came off the Potomac, so it was somwhat bearable. The museum at the end was AMAZING. It was a chance to walk through Washington's life. It had movies and interactive displays for the children. There was one IMAX movie that was so cool. The cannons would fire and your seats would shake and smoke would billow. In the winter during the movie fake bubble snow would fall. I can truly say that for Maddy & I it clarified and brought to life our American History studies. It has been so neat to hear Maddy talk about the American Revolution and our Founding Fathers. This trip has definitely changed my mind about learning and teaching. I really believe that a hands on real life experience coupled with book learning is the way for us. Now where this takes us in the future we will see.....
We rented headsets as a self guided walking tour. The kids had a tour given by George Washington's cat.
Olivia always makes friends where ever we go.
Did I mention that it was hot?
Olivia found a ladybug in the grass and wanted to take it back home for Ms Shawnee (her preschool teacher). Ms Shawnee loves ladybugs hence her aka name Ms Ladybug
I finally convinced her to let it stay with it's mommy
We were sitting on Washington's back porch, chills anyone???
Ethan had fun too.....Hey where's my headset?????
