This was our greeting when we arrived at our daughter’s house. Oh, don’t get me wrong, the family was friendly enough,


but the sky was rather ominous.
The temperature was a bit cooler than forecast, and thunderstorms were expected. We opted to skip the cherry blossoms and sought an indoor activity. This is where we spent the afternoon:

National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, Virginia
The galleries and exhibits are nothing short of amazing. I didn’t get very good pictures to share, so if you click the link above the photo, you can get all the information from their website.
This is the elevator, surrounded by the stairs to the different deck levels.

The kids enjoyed taking the stairs and racing us (in the elevator).
And wouldn’t you know, at the end of the day as we exited the galleries and returned to the main lobby with glass ceiling–

The view looking straight overhead.
–the sun was shining brightly!
Do you have a favorite museum? Or one you would like to see?
