We've been studying the civil war. So today we took a field trip to Oakland to visit the soldiers and sailors museum...
It was a rainy day in Oakland, but that didn't stop the kids from standing in the rain to check out the "cool" torpedo that was outside. Anything that blows up is "cool"!
They have a bunch of civil war exhibits that are really nice.
Here is some confederate money rendered worthless by the war...This exhibit showed what camp life was like for the men.
Again......anything that blows up is "cool"......
An exhibit on the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.
After we visited the museum we walked down to the Big Carnegie Library and explored it for a couple of hours. Cody liked the teen room that has Guitar hero, X box, and
Playstation to play. Tom just liked checking out the
archtecture.

Maybe you guys need a weekend trip to the nations capitol. I know of a free hotel. My web site has a DC link of really cool things to do. However, if the boys join the navy, there are tons of torpedoes at boot camp they can look at.
