Terra Cotta Warriors



One of the advantages of living in DC, is there is always something new to see. Usually every year there is an exhibit that comes and is on display for a few months. The exhibit now, is the Terra Cotta Warriors from China. We found out we could go for FREE on Wed. nights so we headed out on the town with our good friends Michelle, Brian and Gabbi. Sharise was awesome and took Abby so we could go without an 18 month old terrorizing the place. Thanks Sharise!
The exhibit was awesome! It was cool to see clay warriors that were 1,000's of years old. These warriors guarded the emperors tomb to keep him safe in the afterlife. A farmer found them while digging in his fields in the 70's. One lucky farmer! We're glad we went and could learn a little bit more about China's history.
