My holiday query "What's so great about America?" Prompted an awesome discussion with the kiddos, "Are we really free?" "What do democracy, capitalism, freedom of speech, and freedom of religon mean?" Our quest took us to temples around town, on to the capitol, and ended at Memory Grove, with its vetran memorials and the freedom trail. It was a good day.
*Hey, did you see all the birds nests in the turrets of the capital? We thought they were beehives at first, you know, the beehive state and all.
*That Pyramid is actually a temple of the only religion in America that still performs mummification. YUK. Freedom of religon.

Wonderful trip! So glad you did that with your kids. I think it's a great idea. May just have to steal it from you.
