What a FUN day for our family. "Take your kids to work day" was established a few years ago to help families connect with other families, learn about the jobs their parents do with a briefing by the Commander geared just for the kids with their own Q & A time, have a paper airplane flying contest, tour The Pentagon, and experience a "day in the life of Dad" in DC.
The Pentagon tour was amazing-the most touching part was the Sept 11th memorial where were were able to sign a guest book, hear about that tragic day, and take a moment to pray for the families. The quilts on the wall were just gorgeous...I had to "ask" to take those pictures. I couldn't get a ton of pictures, but you know I asked when I could-it is a very secure area and the tour was about an hour.
The Pentagon tour is a "must do" on the list of things to do in DC.
The cutest parts of the day-Riley dressed like Dad in his ABU's drew LOTS of attention-people talked to him on the street and he was just gleaming from ear to ear with pride. Megan was such a little lady and just soaked everything in...we met a sweet family that had a 3 year old and she took right to him and took great care of him as we toured.
I am grateful Scott has such a cool place to work-the people were all so friendly, the other families were great, and the experience was very special.
Enjoy the pics~ :)
