I was bored too. 
YAWN.

BUT…

I should have paid attention!
I should have listened!
I should have been..INSPIRED!

But, I wasn’t.

This fall break,
 hubby & I went to Virginia.
(USNAVY son & granddaughter live there).

THERE IS SO MUCH US HISTORY THERE!

Yes. I will admit it.
I had to…UM…GOOGLE..some of it!

REVIEW MY PRIOR LEARNING!
REVISIT dates, places,& names that
SOMEONE had taught me A LONG TIME AGO!
I passed the tests..but I don’t remember a thing!

This time…It was fascinating!
It was so exciting, humbling, so enthralling!

I was excited to learn!  AGAIN!

And so..
Here are a few of the places we went, 
the things we saw, 
and the people I want to know MORE about.

I am searching for new books to read, now.

Seeing and becoming a PART of history…
has made me want to learn more!

Wow! Maybe that’s how our kids feel.  🙂

I think next time…
I will listen, engage, be a part of new learning.
Then I won’t have to REPEAT IT!  HAHA
