Washington DC - Day Two

Today we went into DC for a second time. I really wanted to see the Holocaust Museum, so Shannon took us to see it. I was fine walking through until I came to a portion where they showed how the Nazi's took out the elderly and children with disabilities.

There was a picture of a young boy about Ryan's age standing without clothes on. I assume he lost his life. That is when I lost it and was ready to leave.

As we left the museum we entered a portion that is especially for children. It started out in a home that was much like our own and as you walked through, the home changed from happy times to desperate times. It was very moving. It is hard to fathom the evil that went on just a short time ago.

After the Holocaust Museum, Shannon had arranged for us to tour the capital bldg with a friend of hers. The friend worked for the UT Senator Orrin Hatch. We were taken underground on a tram that took us from the Senate bldg to the Capital bldg. Not many people get to do that so we felt privileged. Thanks Shannon...and Becky :).
