Here are a few of my favorite photos I snapped today in Washington D.C. with Alexander. I added all of these to my NECC 2009 Flickr Set.

This is the first time I’ve seen a Tomahawk cruise missile up close.

We were able to not only see but also TOUCH several enormous meteorites today at the Smithsonian Natural History museum, including this one from Arizona:

The exhibit on the Mishin diaries and the light they shed on the Soviet moon landing plans was very interesting to me

This was the “designed but never used” Soviet cosmonaut moon suit:

The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) exhibit was definitely the highlight of the day for me.

I incorrectly called these “unarmed aerial vehicles” near the end of the video sequence I recorded at the exhibit today. These are definitely NOT “unarmed.”

Alexander reports from Penn Square Mall in Oklahoma City, at our new Lego Store that just opened Thursday.

Rachel earned the “black belt” in Club Penguin today, and also earned the ninja mask. She recorded some thoughts about this today and shared them online via AudioBoo.

Rachel is taking a gymnastics and karate class this summer, and was just featured in the gym’s email marketing advertisement for a new karate class.

Students in an earlier class are featured on YouTube, breaking boards. Rachel hasn’t done this yet!

LEGOuniverse in a new game that LEGO is coming out with. This game will have ninjas, pirates, dragons, robots and much much more. All the people are going to be lego figures but they be able to bend there legs and arms and even dance, go here and put in the word ‘dance’ in the box where it says VIP Access Point download and enjoy! Go here to see what they say a bout the game. You can also get e-mail up-dates if you really like it. Have fun learning about it!

Girlsgogames.com is a new site that I like to play on. I like it because you can dress up dolls,give dolls makeovers,do there nails,and fix there hair. But before you play the game you have to watch adds. (my dad doesn’t like that part,but you can skip the add after 32 seconds.

My week of “sitting” for Alexander’s Travian account is officially over. These were the results:

This was what Alexander asked me to do:

Overall his village sustained 9 attacks, and I think on 3 of those occasions the attacker got resources. That was one of the reasons I build up a 2nd cranny to level 9. (The cranny protects your resources when attackers come.)

Hopefully he’ll be pleased with the results. His field production levels are a lot higher than they were a week ago.

Alexander, why don’t you write a “report card” on how things went when I sat for you in Travian, and post it here as a blog entry? I did add your Travian share link to the top of my blog at the start of the week, so be sure to check your “earn gold” link under Travian Plus.
