Postal Museum a Hit When Living In Military Housing In Washington DC

Do you love stamp collecting or the history of the US mail service?  You may now realize how dangerous and exciting it used to be.  This overlooked and under appreciated historical site is loaded with amazing facts about our fearless early carriers. The National Postal Museum is really an amazing collection of stamps, art and history.  This month while you are staying in DC in military housing featured exhibits include Postal Inspectors: The Silent Service.  Coming March 6th through January 2015 is a new exhibit called Pacific Exchange: China & US Mail.  This examines the relationship between our countries by following the mail.  You may decided to join the rank of the many stamp collectors around the world.  Did you know that Charlie Chaplin, John Lennon and Ameila Earhart were collectors?  There are  more than 10 permanent exhibits at the museum,  and special exhibits are featured all year. One of the most popular and moving exhibits is that of wartime letters to and from soldiers serving on the front lines.

After your visit go online to the Postmaster's Challenge and see how you score in this fun trivia game.   The Activity Zone page on the website has some great interactive programs that you and your kids will love.   If your kids need a unique topic for a school report, this would be a great one!

Plenty Of Snow Sports When Living In Corporate Housing In DC

Visit Snowshow Mountain Resort when staying with us in military or corporate housing.  If you love to snow-board and ski this is great place for you.  With areas for beginners and advanced athletes this will meet all of your needs.   There are snow makers to insure that the snow is abundant all winter and a super pipe will generate extreme enthusiasm.  This West Virginia venue is a favorite.  Another on the best of the best list is Wisp in Maryland.  This is a family friendly venue with mostly 'easy' slopes. This is a great place for a day trip with younger children. Off-slope family fun includes snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and riding the Mountain Coaster—whose cars zoom along 3,500 feet of downhill steel track snaking through the woods.  If snow tubing is what you are looking for then the 900-foot-long, 125-foot-high tubing hill at Massanutten in Harrisonburg, Virginia is for you. This run  thrills riders with three whoop-de-doo jumps, high-walled individual lanes, and one magic-carpet lift that makes your trip back quick and easy for multiple runs on a two hour lift ticket. Your stay with us can be full of snow and fun when you visit these venues. 
 Happy 'shushing' !

Museum of Crime and Punishment A Great Stop While Residing In Military Housing

If you are a fan of CSI and all the television that solves mysteries with forensic science, you will love the Museum of Crime and Punishment in Washington DC.  During February and March the weather might not be great for getting outside, so an inside excursion is perfect.  When you are living in military housing there will be plenty to do but you might not think of this venue. The museum has a variety of exhibits and activities so if you have children with you be sure to visit the website and see what is on the schedule.  Some exhibits might not be suitable for small children as they show the real side of crime.  However, there are special activities for young children that help teach them about forensic science.  A summer camp and many learning workshops are available for all ages.
