Next Stop - DC and the Pleistocene


Granny and Grandpaw wanted to take them to the Capital of the US and the Smithsonian. Antoine says that his career as a geologist started here. When Grandpaw bought Antoine and Maxime Amethyst specimens from the natural history museum gift shop - this sparked Antoine's budding interest in rocks. He'll have lots to look at in the desert mountains of the UAE.


We spent a day touring the museum and the monuments. I discovered that this statue of Andrew Jackson in Washington Square behind the White House is the same as the one in Jackson Square in New Orleans - whaddya know!

Great to see your photos from the summer, Antoine and Maxime are growing up so fast!
Looking forward to hearing more about life in the desert!xxx
