Our View of the Universe

Something caught my eyes when I sat down on a bench outside of the "Explore the Universe" exhibit in the Air and Space museum.

The text reads, "Since people first gazed up at the stars, we have searched for answers to such questions. When our view was limited by what our eyes could see, the sky was our universe. Then telescopes deepened our view, photography enhance it, and spectroscopy broadened it. The Universe grew from a sky of stars to a realm of galaxies, to an expanding universe of galaxies."

There is always something inspiring our lives.

2010 into 2011

Holiday comes and goes but we managed to attend two parties in friends' houses and had two parties in our house. Plus, Alvin and Mason had two wonderful "big sisters" staying over for several days! What a holiday treats for the boys!

We also visited the annual DC Botanic Garden display, a unique exhibit with train show and replicas of DC and world famous buildings and monuments. It is amazing to see that all replicas were made in real plant material as you will see in the pictures followed. If you miss this year's display, you have a year to regret!

No worries...they are not sitting on cactus

Do you see lotus roots in the picture followed?

How many landmarks can you name?
