Blogging Delay!

After intensely blogging during our visit to that National Mall and Smithsonian Museums, we hit a hidden posting limit.  After looking up the problem showing up on our phones, others claimed that once the post limit is reached, the blog prevents mobile posts for 24 hours.  We agreed to take care of the rest of our posts when we came home.

We chose gallery 109. It has many hands on equipment, and diagrams to help explain stuff. We chose it because it has many fun and interesting ways to learn about flying. Miles

Arlington national cemetery.
the significance of the cemetery is that it is a burial ground for over 1000s graves of men and woman and children. it takes a certain criteria to be buried here. For example, you need to be a medal of honor recipiant. some people haven't meet the criteira but are still buried. JFK and the lee marvin are buried here. they were both great men who served the country. miles

Changing of the guard ceremony. This ceremony is where guards exchange shifts to guard the tomb. One guard relives the other guard of his duties. The soliders are commanded by their commanding leader to do a step-by-step ceremony. this is significant because the guards exchange duties to guard a tomb 24/7, 365 days a year. miles

Lunar Exploration (Henry)

Built in the 60's, America just discovered the moon with this.  Its many pictures of the moon depicting the moon.  It was like the first satellite. 

Fokker T-2 (Henry)

Macready and Kelly were the first men to go across the country in airplane.  They had the original ideas for transcontinental flight.  They flew from Long Island to San Diego.

The Weight Brothers (Henry)

I picked this room because it was the initial place in flight.  This motivated many more people to make today's society. 

General Motors Hall (Henry)

I picked this part because I love transportation.  I also picked this because it is interesting to see the different modes of transportation.  The most important reason though is because I like seeing how people tracked in early American history. 

First Ladies (Henry)

I think the first lady exhibit is interesting to see because of their opinions. It has all of the dresses of the first ladies.  It is interesting to see how the dressess changed over time.

1939 (Henry)

This was very interesting to see the major events in 1939.  Few examples were alcatraz in the wizard of oz.   It was very retro like it was in 1939.

Natural History (Henry)

Because I like looking at ancient things, we went to the natural history museum.  We saw animals and fossils.  The museum was also interesting because it showed the history of animals. 

Jefferson Memorial (Henry)

This memorial commemorates Jefferson, one of the best presidents and men in his era and or all time.  The building has a cement dome on the top, like his in Monticello.  Jeferson wanted many things, like freedom of speech, justice, and literature. 

World War 2 (Henry)

World war 2 was one of the biggest wars around the world.  It was so big, many people died.  For every star, that represents 100 people that died because of the war.  There were too many stars to count.  In the middle, there is a huge water fountain, ever lasting like remembering all the people that died because of the war. 

Vietnam Memorial (Henry)

The Vietnam memorial has a huge grass field with two statues.  The statues are with soldiers and nurses.  The faces are very emotional, showing the feelings of war. 

this is the vietnam war memorial. It has all names of about 58000 people who lost their lives in the war. They will all be loved and remembered.///Ibrahim

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (Henry)

24/7 there is always a soldier guarding the tomb.  This is a.sign of repect, for always remembering the soldiers they could.never find.  The soldiers wairt 21 seconds, turn and walk 21 steps.  They hold a gun never facing the memorial. 

This is JFK's grave. He was one of the most memorable presidents ever. His grave is a fire coming out of his stone grave. It is a very interesting grave and reminds us all of the great things he did as president///Ibrahim

The most interesting exhibit on the second floor was the one on American Industrialization. Industrialization changed American society greatly with new technological advances and more cities, buildings, and factories
-Hunter

The most interesting exhibit on the third floor was the one on 1939. It showed the many important events in America in 1939 including the start of the Superman comic strip, Al Capone freed from Alcatraz, the World Fair, and more.

We just went to Arlington cemetery and saw the gravesites of American veterans. The most interesting thing we saw was the tomb of the unknown soldier, a grave constantly guarded by professional military personnel commemorating unknown soldiers killed in battle.

JFK Memorial (Henry)

JFK was one of the best presidents in american history. In the middle of his grave there is a flame.  The flame is ever-lasting, symbolizing his ever lasting rememberence. 

The tomb of the unknown soldier was made to honor the soldiers that died in american wars. The big one is for ww1. There is one soldier buried, and he represents all the rst of them. It is very sad, but gives me pride.///Ibrahim
