National Museum of The Marine Corps

Two weekends ago, my dad and sister drove to our house and spent the night with us. In the morning, Dad and I went to temple. Chris, Julia, and the girls went to the Lancaster Dutch Market while we were gone; they then met up with us in the temple parking lot and we took off for Quantico, VA! When we drove down to Williamsburg last fall, we saw signs for The National Museum of The Marine Corps. We told ourselves that we would eventually check it out and we are glad we did! And we're especially glad that Pop-pop and Julia were there with us.

The first floor was dedicated to wars in which the United States have fought. Each war had its own section that discussed all the major details of the war and the role of the Marines in the war. Cate really liked the phones--you could listen to different peoples' accounts of what happened.

All throughout the first floor were sections designed just for kids. Lizzie really loved them!

There were even places that were interactive--you could stand in a ship, walk through a forest, walk through a bunker, etc.

Don't you love these things? I know I do!

We definitely enjoyed out visit to the National Museum of The Marine Corps! I think we'll visit Quantico again for sure.
