The older I get, the more I marvel at the significance of history. History was a subject to be memorized and studied in school, but I was hardly taught to understand it’s true implications in the present day. How I want my kids to know the importance of history, the values of our founding fathers! You have to know where you’ve been, in order to know where you should be heading.
I was recently contacted by the publicist for author and speaker, Michele Wetteland, to review her new book, Katie and Addie with J.D. Love Washington, DC
As a mom of five young boys, I’m always looking for age appropriate books and resources that draw my sons into a greater respect and love for our country, and what it is founded on. Michelle Wetteland’s new book takes children on a tour of our nation’s capitol, and inspires readers to want to visit and discover the significance of history for themselves. This book is a great way to introduce your children to many important events in our nation’s history, and to pique their interest for further study.
Does this sound like something your family would enjoy? Well, you’re in luck! 
I have one signed copy of Katie and Addie with J.D. Love Washington, DC

If I were to visit Washington, D.C. with my children, I would most want to take them to the capital building or Arlington. They both have so much history and the funerals in Arlington teach everyone that we do still have service members away . It is very humbling.
I’ve visited D.C. I would want to take my grandchildren to the Jefferson Memorial. There, you are appropriately surrounded by the basis of the founding fathers’ belief. God was and should always be the center of our Republic. It is a reverent and moving place to feel His presence.
I myself have never been to Washington DC! We are waiting 2 more years until after our daughter is older and we have studied American History more deeply. Although time would never allow – The Smithsonian. Days and Days worth of the Smithsonian!
Thanks for sharing about this book and the giveaway. How fun!
This is a hard choice! I loved The Lincoln Memorial as well as The Jefferson Memorial, and how these great men shaped our history! Having a father who taught High School History, I have a deep love for it!
Couldn’t miss the Capital while in DC
Definitely would want my son to visit the Capitol!
Everywhere! My daughter has mentioned many times that she would love to go to DC so we will have to go soon1
This sounds like a nice book to add to our collection. I went D.C. once as a graduate student for a conference. I had very little time for sightseeing (shameful), but I was very impressed with the Holocaust Museum. I’m not sure my children are old enough for that yet, though. I’m sure they’d love everything about D.C., particiularly the Smithsonian.
Interestingly enough, I love Fettucine Alfredo, but I’ve only found 3 of them that I’ve ever liked. One was in D.C., one in San Francisco, and one from a long-lost friend. Seems like I may need to find a closer favorite
