Dear Desdemona,

"Many people I know have never heard of the Smithsonian."

Right. You're motivated (By the way, I like museums, too. Before the onset of parenthood, my wife and I spent a lot of time on the Mall in DC.).

By the way, I like museums, too. Before the onset of parenthood, my wife and I spent a lot of time on the Mall in DC.

Being parents never stopped my mom and dad. I was 10 (and the oldest) when we moved to the east coast for a time. We went everywhere. If mom and dad wanted to go we went. Battlefields, museums, the Capitol, West Point, among other places, and it DID instill a real love for history and learning in us. We've even talked about it, that history, for us, is alive and all the trips to the Boston area and Williamsburg and the like is what did it.
