 Six of us ventured out in search of breakfast and absolutely scored at Mother’s. Afterwards Laura & Mason and the two of us headed to The National World War II Museum. For hours we immersed ourselves in history of this global conflict from many different angles. Of special interest to Laura was the section on the contributions of the Merchant Marine. Karen appreciated the display of the Grumman TBM Avenger, the plane in which  her father trained in preparation for the war in the Pacific as part of the Navy Air Corps. We finished the visit by viewing “Beyond All Boundaries” for an excellent overview. It’s amazing how much this museum has expanded and improved since we first visited in July 2004!
National Portrait Gallery
It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
