Amanda and I just returned from our big trip to Washington DC and beyond. We were gone 10 days. Every day was so different from the others. We went to DC, Richmond, Jamestown, Yorktown, Monticello, Mt. Vernon, Gettysburg, and Harper's Ferry.
People ask me what my favorite part of the trip was. I would have to say that I have a new-found love for history and patriotism. I realized that I didn't learn or had forgotten so much of my American History. It was a great way to see history come alive. I will be teaching history very differently in the future.
My favorite stops were the Gettysburg museum and the Holocaust museum. I learned so much at both of these places.
I am grateful to be home and finally rested. It was a quick-paced trip! I am so thankful for the opportunity to have gone with Amanda. It is something that we will always share.
I only put an abbreviated amount of pictures on my blog. I have 152 great pictures to scrapbook, but I just wanted to upload a sampling.
