National Treasure Day!

Our original plan, Plan A, for the day was to visit The White House.  Through many telephone calls and emails, I erred and didn't list all the children 11 and under in our group.  All of the other families backed out of the White House Tour plan.  We stuck to the plan because Laron's brother, Jonathan and his wife, Stacy are in town this week. 

I have toured the White House before, so plan B was for me to wait out side with the kids.  Our kids are very political and were not thrilled about Mom's error.

Once Laron, Jonathan and Stacy arrived to the White House, they were informed the tour is cancelled due to a lunch; in which, they are not invited.  Hello, I thought that is why we need the two month background check window, so we don't have huge oversights like this.  Now, we know how well our tax dollars are spent.

Plan C - Forget White House Tour, American History Museum, National Archives, walk around the Green Mall and visits the Memorials.  No matter how many visitors we have, our family never tires showing off the Memorials.  We were all flexible and had great time together.

We showed Jonathan & Stacy some of our nation's treasures:  The Star-Spangled Banner, the original Constitution of the United States, the original Declaration of Independence, and the original Bill of Rights.
