Day One KK getting off Plane

Day 2 & 3 Jamestown/Willamsburg

KK was living history in colonial Jamestown and Revolutionary history in Yorktown. I know she spent money in Williamsburg on souvenirs! Today they will be visiting Monticello and Thomas Jefferson's home. On Monday they will be in DC. I'm following the Expedition History website here. The Parks 8th graders are having the time of their life.

KK is on the bus and on the way to LAX!

Hi folks,
I just wanted to let you all know my Daughter is on her 8th grade DC trip. It's ironic its on the weekend the possible government might shut down. But the Expedition History people assured me they have plan B in place if one venue is closed. (Like the Smithsonian or Capital Building).

Today the 8th grade class is leaving LAX at 7:50 am PDT on United Fl#950. They will arrive at Dulles Airport at 3:39 pm EDT. (12:39 pm PDT).
They will board a bus and travel to Williamsburg VA to visit Jamestown Settlement tomorrow.

Marriage Laws between Man and Woman

Laws that define marriage as only between those couples who are ostensibly capable of procreation help support a culture where couples who procreate are encouraged to marry and/or stay married. Legalized same-sex marriage would gradually remove this cultural connection between procreation and marriage and further, would "institutionalize the idea that children do not need both their mother and their father" (Family Research Council). As I wrote about previously, this will almost certainly result in even more children being raised by single parents.

Missleading Newt's Affairs with Love of Country

“Gingrich was talking about how his love of country contributed to his hard-charging work ethic,” Brody said. “That ultimately led him down a path that was not conducive to a happy family life. But to make the link from “love of country” to the “affairs” is extremely misleading. Furthermore, that isn’t even the headline to the story. How about ‘Gingrich Owns Up to Past Infidelity?’ I have a few more but I have no desire to be an AP headline writer. Then again maybe I should.”
