American History

The American History museum is reopening tomorrow with festivities spanning the weekend. I plan to go on Saturday and brave the crowds.

When I go, I will have the opportunity to "shake hands and take your photo with historical characters across the centuries—First Ladies Abigail Adams and Martha Washington, Annie Oakley and Amelia Earhart, Dorothy Gale and R2D2, the soldiers of the Federal City and the Ft. McHenry Old Guard."

Apparently, R2D2 fought for America's freedom right alongside the soldiers of the Federal City and stood fast with Abigail Adams during the bombardment of Boston. He is a great American hero.

I am not making this up. It is from the website.

ooh, please get a picture with Amelia Earhart, she is no joke one of my favorite characters from history. It intrigues me that she would be at the museum when they don't really know what happened to her...
