Two days to go!

Two days before the big trip! Here is a picture of the NREA office to help you find us. The office sits right on the northwest corner of 13th and K. There is a loading zone in front of the building on K street. We don't have a parking lot so you will most likely want to unload your luggage and then park at the Cornhusker Hotel parking garage about a block North of the office. We will be able to provide you with a one hour parking voucher for the Cornhusker.

James packed your string bags today and we are going back through our list and re-confirming all of our reservations. We have been planning this trip since the day we got back from last year's Youth Tour. It really does take that long to get all the details worked out. Makes me tired to think about it.

Things to think about...

We will be visiting the Vietnam War Memorial. Do you or your parents know anyone that was killed during the war? Perhaps you would like to make an etching of their name.

At the World War II memorial you can look up the names of family members or others that served during the war. The database provides you a brief history of their service. You can also view that registry from any computer at http://www.wwiimemorial.com/ You also have the opportunity to correct or add to the information. Many war records were destroyed and this may provide an opportunity to restore information.

Did you know that the "Smithsonian" is not just one museum? The Smithsonian Institute is actually 19 museums, 9 research centers and the National Zoo. The best part is, entry to the museums and the Zoo is free!

See you all in two days!
