Tina took us to Andrews Air Force Base today to see Air Force One....Here it is :) We of course couldn't stop and take pictures. Well we could if we wanted to cause extreme alarm. So this is what we get.
After the Air Force Base we headed to DC. We got a little lost :) But it was ok because we wen to the Theodore Roosevelt Monument. I've never heard of it before. It was kind of neat. It was on a little island on the Potomac.
Ok so one of the things on our list today was to go to the Holocaust Museum. We had to get tickets because usually it is a really busy Museum. We stopped to get the tickets and the place was not busy and our tickets said we could go right in. So we changed our plans and went to the museum first. First thing you do when you walk in is pick up an Identification Card. It has a person that was a victim or had something to do with the Holocaust. It has a quick summary of their life and death. It is very very sobering. The things that happened to these people was and is so atrocious.

We also went to the National Archives. We were super lucky and there really weren't very many people. We walked right into the room where the Declaration of Independence is. I guess normally the lines can be incredibly long. It was cool to see. We laughed though because we notice that a lot of documents and things would have an f in the place of s. So it would say Pennfylvania instead of Pennsylvania. We got a kick out of that.
We walked through this art garden. It had some fun statues and sculptures.
This house was very interesting, look at it from different angles and see if it changes. it is really only two wall and a roof, so basically three sides. We liked it.
This did make me laugh, Tayler and Emma just walked right over to it and touched it. I don't see the harm but obviously they shouldn't have :)
