Why didn’t I Pay Attention????

Think back.

Think back to high school.

Think back to junior high school.

Think back to elementary school.

For me.. that’s a WAY BACK in time!

Not THAT far !

Now.

Think back to when you were first taught

US HISTORY.

I mean REALLY taught US HISTORY!

via GIPHY

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

So.. As I “relive” my vacation through the pictures…

I think I will spend a little “research” time

on the parts I

“missed”

the first time!

Have a Great Week!

PAY ATTENTION!

YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS A THING! 🙂

Looks like you had a wonderful vacation, Wendy! By the way, I also feel just like you described whenever we go to a science museum with our grandkids. Electrical circuits?? Umm…maybe I was absent that week. 😉
