Newseum

After 5 lovely days with Cristin and Brandon we are now with Ellen, Ray and Brooke Meinhart who came to our church for 3 years over 6 years ago.

Today being one of the very few wet days in our trip we decided to spent it in the Newseum which we found very interesting and had no trouble being there all day. It has a lot of different exhibits and many movies.
