Vacation Day 2

Our second field trip was to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Some of the highlights:

Exploring a Cockpit

A rocket
A plane


Lunar landing module

Ethne's
Catie's (with some help)


















The Wright Brothers' Plane



Ethne's is 3D
Catie's version





We watched an IMAX on the Hubble telescope

Catie looked at the Big Dipper with hers
I especially loved this because Ethne
learned about the Orion Nebula this year.
It was featured in the movie

We walked past the Capitol


Catie's version
and Ethne's
Hard at work with her notebook

Our final stop of the day was the National Archives to see the Declaration, Constitution, and Bill of Rights. No pictures allowed, but no problem with drawings!

Jen - I think your idea of having the girls write in notebooks is great. That picture of Catie sitting by the reflecting pool writing in her notebook is just precious. I'm glad you posted all these pictures (that goes for all three posts)!
