National Archives - Washington D.C. (Tue.10/16)

The National Archives has the "Boeing learning center" where the boys all committed high treason and signed the Declaration of Independence – this doesn't exactly square with our instructions in Romans 13 but...

They have some good kid activities where you search old maps and get clues to answer some questions – it's not bad

The National Archives is most notable for containing the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. They have an excellent video on the maintaining of the Declaration of Independence.

Still relating everything to the National Treasure movie the boys liked seeing THE document. Unfortunately, they colored on the Declaration of Independence with a Sharpie marker closing the exhibit for a while.

No biggie about the sharpie incident...when I was there I sneezed all over the Declaration, then used it to wipe my nose and they didn't seem to mind. They gave me a copy of the Magna Carta to finish 'er off.
