First of all, Happy Birthday to Lauren! Woo hoo!
Yesterday was a field trip day. All the middle school classes went together. We went to Washington DC. In the morning, we would visit the Pentagon, and in the afternoon, we would visit the Spy Museum.
As we arrived at the Pentagon, I looked down and noticed my shirt:
D’oh!
I left my pen clicked when I put it back into my shirt. Ink stains 🙁
When we got to the entrance of the Pentagon, we found out that another group came an hour earlier than their appointed time, and the tour guides gave them our time slot. They said we would not be able to tour at all. We were so confused. We stood around while one of the other teachers called his contact By the time we figured out we really weren’t going on a Pentagon tour, we didn’t have enough time for an alternate activity. We drove around a bit to kill some time.
The Spy Museum was great! Instead of going through the exhibits, we had some scheduled activities. The people in charge of them were great with the kids, and I think the kids enjoyed their time. At least one thing went well yesterday.
I am aghast. How could they give away your time slot?? If that other group was supposed to go an hour (or less) later, why not give you that one? That is crazy.
Sorry about your shirt. Rubbing alcohol will take that stain out. Regular alcohol will make you feel better about it.
Ha!
Nice…nothing like a sympathetic friend. 😉

It’s Snowy’s Birthday (observed) too.
Memories:
* visiting the Pentagon with the school chorus back in 1970-something. It was awesome. That being said, I am especially sad that, since I didn’t think they even DID tours there any more, you all were that close and then…
*Martha Bickel telling us how awesome the Spy Museum was when she took some of our kiddos that year (did you go on that one?)
*hair spray will move ink from fabric well – but then you need to launder out the hair spray, of course. Old tip from the business we used to run…no charge…;-)
