In conjunction with the Republican National Convention, a Civics Fest was held in our convention center. I read that it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience and it certainly was. We saw bald eagles, flag displays, first lady gowns, a life-size replica of the Oval Office, a swearing in ceremony for the kids to reinact, Air Force One, actual cars used by the presidents, and more!
The very best part was the 20 by 60 feet replica of the White House. We were absolutely amazed to learn that they update everything...from when the new residents take over and change paint or wallpaper, to a piece of furniture moved while the present man is in office. It was like seeing it in real life...only it was small! Wow. Kent said he learned that it took eight trucks to move it. Each piece had to be wrapped up as if you were moving.

Wow, what an experience and so many things to see. Glad you got to go.
That looks like so much fun! I kinda wish now that I would have arranged our schedule so we could have gone. Oh well, maybe there will be a chance another time.
It is fun to see that you have done a lot of updating on your blog. I finally started "following" blogs on blogger so that I can tell when they have been updated instead of always checking. It is rather nice.
That is awesome! I wish it would come here!!!!!!!!! I'm glad your family got to experience it.
Looks like you had so much fun. Is that Anna in the background?
