Update

Hello, everyone! Sorry I have not posted for a while, well let's get down to business here. I am still celebrating the Ravens win over the 49ers, and getting ready for baseball season, ad cheering on the Miami Heat. We went to the March for Life last January which was fun, even though it was, like, 20 degrees and my thumbs froze. I have still been serving, playing Basketball, writing my book and praying at the abortion facillity in my neighborhood. Next month my family will be going to Florida and watch the Orioles play. I'll keep you posted!

BMI (Baltimore Museum of Industry)

Earlier this month, our homeschool group went to the Baltimore Museum of Industry. I forgot to bring the camera so I asked my friend if I could link to his blog. Here is the link:

Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center Air & Space museum.

Yesterday we went to the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center Air & Space museum in Virgina. Here are some photos.

The world trade centers, 9/11

Mom tells me this story all the time about 9/11. I was 1 year old when it happened, Mom and I were going to the grocery store, and Mom was listening to the radio, she heard that a plane headed for New York had been hi-jacked and flown into one of the world trade centers. Then we got to the grocery store, got some food, and got back into the car. The Radio was still on, and Mom had heard that the second world trade center had been attacked. And then later when we got home, we found out that a plane flew into the Pentagon And my Uncle was inside! But he survived.

Pieces of the world trade centers.

When my dad was in the Navy, he worked on a helicopter just like this. It's called a

Gyrodyne QH-5OC drone anti-submarine helicopter.

Anti-submarine means the torpedo. They launched the torpedo at submarines from above

The USS Discovery. Part of NASA's shuttle program
which re-used spaceships and return them to earth on a runway
