Field Trip: National Postal Museum

Friday (January 29) was our homeschool group's field trip to the National Postal Museum. B was nice enough to take the kids since I had strep throat. I dropped he and the kids off at the Metro station and then I went to the doctor to have my strep throat (with a scarlatina rash aka Scarlet Fever) diagnosed and treated.

Sorry for the poor picture quality, the flash had to be turned off and our camera takes horrible pictures with the flash off. And our kids have blue eyes that are always red and especially creepy and not able to be fixed in the following pictures.


The arrived a little bit before the tour started, so they explored the museum on their own and found this big rig truck cab.


An old timey postal carriage.


Our friends the G-----s.
In order, Baby X, Buddy, CG (5), Princess Sparkley, EG (7) and KG(3). (Their baby, LG, was home.)


That's the Capitol in the background peaking out behind the trees. It was in the 20s, but they didn't want to have to deal with hauling giant coats all over the museum, and the Metro stop is right across the street from the museum, so they braved it with sweatshirts/sweaters.

Coming soon... a picture from B's camera phone of the kids on the Metro.
