Our cousin, Shawn (13), came to visit this week for a few days and taught us a few things about rocking out on the new wii toy- rock band2. We rocked, we conquored, we snacked. it was a truly essential few days of just vegging out. thanks shawn!
So today i decided it was time to do something educational. So we took him on a morning tour of the National Mall. White House, National xmas tree, Washington Monument, Jefferson memorial, Capital Building and spent some time in the National Museum of Natural History. Shawn points out btw... what would the Museum of Unnatural history look like...?
Playing musical instruments in the Discovery Zone at the museum- obviously the best part of the museum for her. All hands-on and lots of cool new things to discover.
As we were getting ready to send Shawn home, Madeline went to say goodbye and asked "Shawn, you stay here ever and ever?..."
Uhm- how can he deny her?! And he is her godfather on top of it all... isnt it his solemn duty to stay? Well, i guess even the best of teenagers wants to spend a few days at home for their Winter break from school.
We loved having you here Shawn, despite the whole Denny's thing- we will never repeat.
Here is what madeline thought of her day- she started saying this at bedtime:

For unnatual history, check out the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia. Or at least pretty strange...
