Our 912 DC trip: the Smithsonian...

KOOK and I in planning our trip to DC aren't just going there to protest and do politics. We will be taking an extra day to take in as much of Washington DC as possible in our spare time. We want to see (for me what has been several times) as much of the history of our country and legacy of this Nations' greatest minds as possible. The first place that came to mind for us to visit was a unanimous choice on both our parts. That place is the Smithsonian Museums. Nowhere in one place is there more of American history to be seen and shared with you than at the Smithsonian. I could go into everything that is there to be seen and shared but I don't have a month to do this post. Unfortunately I will not have a month to spend there at the Smithsonian and believe me I could do so very easily. However, given the opportunity to do one thing in DC where we can see more, learn more and share more with you it is there. You can go to the Smithsonian's website here and preview a little of our planned trip for yourselves:www.si.edu/

I was told several years back by Chuck Missler, Koinonia House Ministry, that he and his wife were very disappointed with the Smithsonian because of the revision of some of the history of the United States. I will be interested to read what you have seen.

It's been a while since I have been so I will look for such changes.

I am here and checking your blog regularly. Just have not had time to work up a good post. I am sure I will soon.

I back now too. I have needed far more rest than usual to get over both a knee and concussion. The knee makes it hard to get to my computer, but then I have an Iphone. The concussion and meds for my knee make it very hard to focus my eyes on the i-phone without getting double vision. I have backed off some of the pain meds for my knee so that I am more functional upstairs and it has worked to some degree, but coming up with posting material is harder partially because we are in political limbo, given the Congressional break, the death of T.K., partially because hurricane season takes up all my global warming study time and does not make good posting material for this blog, and partially because my brain just isn't going up to full speed yet. I guess it is the "perfect storm" of boredom in my case but all such things come to an end and often such times of calm in all areas are followed by relative storms of activity. Such things would be good for blog, maybe not for America or in some cases Florida (for me). There is Crist's pick for senator which I intend to dig into some detail later today as Crist has higher office aspirations that do not end with Senator. Crist is a RINO although I believe he has picked a more conservative Republican (at least on the surface) to try to make nicey nice with the Republican base.

I think so too. If it is anything like the tea parties I have already attended but with people from everywhere, not just S.Florida, It will be well worth it. We intend to use this blog to be a "show and tell" about the entire trip using photos, video recording blogging, commenting and we will be able to do it all on the spot thanks to Apple and ATT and dual Iphones. I hope to be able to get as much of our trip up and online as fast as possible. Learning to use multimeda that is now at public disposal is one of the unknown and unique elements of the trip. Doing so will help not only the blog but help us grow as bloggers. Seeing those things used in Iran was actually an inspiration for me. If they can do that there during political unrest, imagine what we could do here during a peaceful protest situation. Well, now we have a peaceful protest situation and are planning to learn to use tools that are available as we are there protesting. Arriving a day early will give us a good opportunity to get ready (hopefully).

Sometimes, I do comments or posts like this from my I phone just to practice with it while I am waiting for the NASCAR race in Montreal to begin. Such use will helpe get used to it so I will be better able to use it in DC.
