As the students will tell you all, we had an interesting final morning seminar. Sam Donaldson from ABC News spoke this morning as well as a panel of former congressmen. We then took off for the Museum of American History – my favorite Smithsonian museum. We ate lunch at the museum (cafe just re-opened today) and then went off to see the various exhibits. As I mentioned in a previous post, the museum has just reopened after an extensive and very long renovation. It is definitely different – and maybe a little too modern now, but the exhibits were great. As usual, it would take forever to go through the entire museum so I set off to see the presidential inauguration exhbits and the America at War exhibit.
Of course, before we started I had to get another group picture. Could someone please explain why when I point the camera or camcorder at these guys they want to turn the other way??? I know they are getting sick of me taking their picture, but…too bad.
Most of the group - Chelsea and Brent are missing
Stephen Colbert's photo
I had to include this because of the "George Bush Drive" sign that I used to see when I lived in Texas
Hi Danette….
I’ll try this again since the first one didn’t go through. Sounds like everyone is having a good time there. I have family there attending the inauguration too — Mike and Alison Kintner from Olean. They won the tickets from Schummer’s office. Maybe by chance you will run into each other. Enjoy and be careful!!
