Sights of D.C.

The Washington Monument
Once again, the Kincell family and I traveled to Washington, D.C. for HSLDA's CAP day. What a wonderful blessing it is to be able to lobby for homeschooling! God is so good to us. And everyone from HSLDA is very helpful. Thank you all for your hard work organizing these events.
Our travel was safe; the weather was warm... and we were on a mission. Being either homeschool parents, graduates, or students, we all have experienced the great benefits of homeschooling. Hence throughout our meetings with capitol hill staffers, we were eager to share our enthusiasm for and the terrific results of homeschooling. And we also made sure to mention the importance of the Parental Rights Amendment for protecting against dangers such as the UNCRC.

Even though we had a busy schedule, we squeezed in some sight seeing at the end of our day.

Aren't the buildings impressive?
For some reason, I was obsessed with the ceilings while we were there... So ornate and beautiful!
Of course, Kelsie was interested in other things...
The ship, of course!
And then there were the biodegradable utensils. Who comes up with this stuff?
"Ok, Ben, pay attention. I've brought you to the Library of Congress. Why? Because it's the biggest library in the world. Over 20 million books. And they're all saying the exact same thing: Listen to Riley."
The Library of Congress
While we didn't get to actually enter the Library of Congress, we did get to take pictures in front of it. Which included squeezing into a very small space. :P Good times.

And if you agree and want to see more: The Kincell Family has more pictures.
Do you see that small space?!
It was a great day! We'll be back, D.C.
