Daniel's class...
Wot, do the kids in the States have to stand during lessons...???
Rashin gnashin... how on earth did I get talked into this job... ????
BUT... when the sun goes down...
...it's frozen custard time (quoi, la crème anglaise à l'américaine gelée ????)... Myam! (Oy, Steve ... you've got two!!!)
(In the partaking of Goodberry's famous frozen custard (
http://www.goodberrys.com/), the sporting of camouflaged baseball hats complete with missile guidance systems is strongly advised - at least one of you got that bit right!).
Followed by the main course of course...
Oh, and Kelwyn, yes, you can sample the delights of ALL TWELVE diners FREE OF CHARGE before you have to decide where you wanna eat !!!
Oh, no... don't be fooled by the big grins... We feel ill !!!

Today was our last day at Washington D.C. We prepared our stuff and we visited the NASM museum. We saw real capsules and rockets. We saw engines of a big rocket and lots of small stuff like where they took their bath and how they urinated. Afterwards, we went back home and unpacked. We unpacked and me and Daniel put our PSP on charge and played roller coaster tycoon 3. Another cool day.
Wiv some cool pics to prove it...
Apollo 11 - you wouldn't get ME up there in of of those things...
Nor in one of those (oh, it's the same thing, duh!!!!)
Look at me, I can fly... (Spirit of St Louis at the Smithsonian Air and Space museum -

Hmmm, Papa had to look this up, being so thick and all... Breitling's Round-the-World hot air balloon - and I thought they made watches... hah!

WHO THREW THE SWITCH !!!!
And from thence to the National Museum of American History (
http://americanhistory.si.edu, a temporary exhibition housed in a trailer and brought out every summer for the tourists... (isn't it? !!!)
Half way up the stairs is a stair where I sit
There isn't any other stair quite like it
It's not at the bottom
It's not at the top
It is the stair where I always stop...
So that's where his hat got to... Jordyn was the one!

Today was the big day. We were going to Washington D.C. It took a long time in the car to get there. When we got there we went sightseeing. We saw the capitol, a weird castle, the obelisk of Washington, A really big fountain, and the White House. At the big fountain everything messed up. We were all splashing our shirts and stuff when, Noah, Daniels brother, threw my socks and shoes in the water and poured water into Daniel's shoes. Daniel and Noah got in a fight! When we got back to the hotel we went to the rooftop swimming pool of the hotel. Although it was freezing cold, we made some new friends. At night we watched a film called blades of glory before going to bed. It was about ice skating but didn't like it. But we had a really good day.
Monumental monuments in Washington...
...plus a Capitol building or two...
...and "a wierd castle"...
Seems those shirts didn't last long...
Ooh, that's big... but where's Cleopatra, ...or Asterix... duh!!!!!!
Real men don't wear tee-shirts...!!!
Oh oh ... I feel a water incident coming on...
Hmmm... Steve managed to hang on to dry socks - obviously not joining in the Midway spirit... !!!
Foooorrest.... oh Fooooorrest !!!!
Hey boys - you shouldn't have turned your backs - Abe just moved! If you're the guys who nicked his hat, you're seriously in for it, you know!
I've one heck of a view from here!
Now which of these two groups would you say looks the most wooden... (hey guys, them fellas behind you just moved - I swear!)...
...and above all, no posing for the camera!!!
No comment... (nice house in the background, is that where the nice policeman lives?)
Hmmm... Tell me, which window does the Queen usually wave from again...???
This is the bit where the big space ship arrives and sits on top of the White House and everyone goes "ooooeeeerrrr... it's gone dark all of a sudden..."
Back at base...

It is now my second favorite film after the Lord of the Rings. Then we went caching, it is when you have check points scattered and you have to find them. It is quite fun. Then we went to the local swimming pool but we didn't stay long because a storm was coming up.

Kelwyn
Today we went to the museum of wars. The route was long but we had films, Poseidon and Forrest Gump, to occupy us. It was great. They explained three of the most important wars, the first world war, the second world war, the war in Vietnam and the one in Irak. I took a couple of photos but half way through a lady told me to take off the flash. But I didn't know how so I stopped taking photos. Then we went home to have a barbecue.
Kel's pics before that nasty lady came and told him to stop flashing or he could be arrested
Fortunately for Kel, Daniel's mum had her camera handy... :-)
Michelle: "Airborne Special Operations War Museum, where we learned about flying in all the wars America has been in"

Did the boys really get to fly in a bomber?
Looks like Kelwyn is closer to home than he thought !
Per Michelle: "this last picture is of the boys (Daniel, Kelwyn, and my nephew Arik) at a memorial for the World Trade Center disaster, all made from wreckage from the site":
Smile everybody... look at the birdie, say "fromage"...

Here are some cool pics from today about which Michelle (Daniel's mum says "here are just a few of our first seaside trip. Kel loved the waves (the water was very warm), body surfing, and digging for sand crabs, and making castles":
