I would have to say that my most memorable experience is my visit to the United States Holocaust Memorial in Washington, D.C.  It opened my eyes to the horrors that took place during this terrible time in history.

When my son was in the third

grade we visited the Prarie Grove

battle site, it was a great experience

that sparked his interest in history.

First hand experiences with history put

powerful sparks in children that help them

become excited about learning. He is now 13 and loves history.

I recently visited the Getty museum in California. I got to see all types of art from all time periods. I saw works from artists such as Van Gogh and Rembrandt as well as work from Roman times. It was wonderful to be surrounded by all that beauty.

My most favorite memory of being closer to history was when I was able to visit the Arlington National Cemetery and seeing the Changing of the Guards. I also found my uncle's name on the Vietnam Memorial wall.

One thing that surprised me was that the way they steer the ship is not with a traditional helm or ship's wheel but with a tiller. This is because the ship's wheel did not come about until the early 1700's. In the picture you can see my son sitting on the tiller. I have a whole new respect for those that used to sail these ships across the seas back then.
