Last Friday we went to the Spirit of America production sponsored by the Department of the Army at the coliseum in our town. It was a musical, drama, re-enactment and staged production honoring our country and the armed services throughout its history. It was a free presentation designed to draw in people of all ages, both veterans and children alike. My two kids and I enjoyed it immensely. They got out of book work for the day and I got to practice with my zoom lens!
Love a good field trip!
Very cool! Your pictures turned out great.
Here from the Hop.
Thanks so much! It was my first time using a zoom lens inside a huge arena so they weren’t as bad as I thought! Thanks for visiting!
Wow! We almost got tickets for this, now I wish we had. Thanks for the pictures, they look great.
We loved the program. Sorry you didn’t get tickets!
Oh, I’ve gone to this show in DC a few times; love it! I didn’t realize they performed it elsewhere. Awesome presentation.
We had never been before and enjoyed it tremendously (plus I got to practice with my long range lens!)
We are currently studying the revolution. I am going to see if this show ever plays in NYC!
I don’t know their schedule but I think the show travels to different cities each year. It is great for whatever you are studying in American history.
Looks like a great field trip to me — and I am willing to bet they learned more from the field trip than they would have from bookwork!
Thanks for linking!
Field trips are great memory makers! We do bookwork but there’s a lot of free exploration and interest driven studying going on!
That looks like an amazing show! Thanks for sharing! Thanks for linking up to TGIF!
