Sort of an update

My first year wedding anniversary was June 25th 2012. I didn't post anything mainly because I was really busy and  that time was a very depressing time for me. We did have a good day.  My sister got to stay with us a few days which was really nice. She was our first official visitor :) We got to see DC with her and visit Jamestown. And I can't remember if we did anything else... Oh yeah we did watch the movie Brave.

 Overall I was very happy with Jamestown it had a lot of hands on activities which I thought was really neat. 

Brave, I was disappointed with. I felt like the story wasn't very good. It felt very forced. I feel like it should have been an episode in a TV show. It was sad how it wasn't very good I really do love celtic stuff. 

That time was really depressing for me mainly because I had given up hope that good was going to happen. It was a stressful time because we needed to move and really did not know what was going to happen when we got to Utah. Things are looking up at least things aren't as bad as I expected. 

Baltimore Harbor

Aboard the Lightship Chesapeake

Aboard the USS Constellation 

Overall was a very nice day in Baltimore. The ships were my highlight of the day. 

Natural History Museum

Dane and I finally made it to the Natural History Museum in DC! The smithsonian has taken a lot more time then I expected and we still haven't seen it all. I got a Monday off so thought it would be a good day and wouldn't be so crowded. It was still very crowded just with a different crowd, loads of kids going on field trips. At four p.m. we returned for something and most of the kids had gone home so it was a lot less crowded.

Below is picture of Dane next to the Thor tree ;)

 A size comparison to the horse and the tapir.

 Another size comparison can you see I was deeply impressed by these miniature horses.  I didn't get a a good picture but you can see the horses used to have toes which slowly disappeared. 

 And the horse jumped over the Dane.

 triceratops !

 A walrus and a river otter right next to each other :)

 Giant Sloth behind me

 Mammoth behind Dane since he really really wants to clone one.

 Below is information about the first burial sites that have been found. I like to think how long man has thought about the afterlife and have mourned and respected the dead. Me, Toriana, Maren, Macloud and Dane all watched this documentary on the evolution of man a few months ago I thought it was funny that it said changing our diets to meat made our brains develop and made us smarter. Without it where would we be?

 It's always crazy to think about how species lasted so long and then could go extinct like that. Our species Homo sapiens have not been around very long compared to others. I wonder what a drastic climate change could do to us?

 This was my favorite museum. Dane's is probably the Air and space museum. It was a good day. I like using the metro but I'm pretty sure it costs more than driving. Which I think is bad. DC should encourage more people to use metro. Although the metro is used a ton so maybe they do need to get rid of people I don't know. 

 Dane I finished up the day by seeing the National Archives. We saw the declaration of independence. Dane really liked seeing the Magna Carta. 

 It was a very nice day started off sprinkling and then left the rest of the day with overcast. 

Ocean City

Dane's car made it from coast to coast.
