    The collection of shoes was the most emotional to me at the Holocaust Museum. And I’ve never been to the Museum of the Bible. The thought struck me that you guys looked like the only people there. Made me sad. I enjoyed the retreat weekend vlog!!

      There were definitely other people at Museum of the Bible...I just didn't film them. haha. It definitely wasn't as crowded as the Holocaust museum though.

    "DONNER DINNER PARTY"?😅 Or "GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER?" Something Bad Penny would "gobble up."
    My Mother was an avid fan of any book on the DP. How macabre! She said, "If you look at what they went through, your petty little troubles don't seem so bad." She was a "voracious" reader. Lol.
    Pretty perfect time to visit D.C. Been a few times in the sweltering, oppression of summer and dreer, bleakness of winter.

      We were blessed with beautiful weather. It rained on arriving and leaving day, but in between was beautiful! I have no interest in reading about the Donner party! haha

    Hey Krista, glad you had a great time in my city. Also, I am pretty sure your cousin and I go to the same bakery! 🤭 Even though I am not a big middle grade reader I always enjoy hearing about what you and your friends are reading during Middle Grade March.

    • @BooksAndJams
      @BooksAndJams  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It was a great weekend for sure. There's always so much to do in the DC area. I'll be back up to my cousins in a week or so. Some of them are running the Rock N Roll 1/2 Marathon. I'm going to cheer them on! haha

    Awesome vlog! Visiting Auschwitz was a heartbreaker. Just makes you speechless! The amount of items they had there, shoes, dolls, etc., and the endless list of names, so many pics on the walls, it would so long to read about each individual. Glad y'all had a great weekend! Happy MGM and happy reading!

    • @BooksAndJams
      @BooksAndJams  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, the Holocaust museum is very emotional. They didn't have the shoe display there this time. Just a pic of it. Still so much reading of all the different aspects was heartbreaking, infuriating and just so hard!

    • @BooksAndJams
      @BooksAndJams  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Some of the bookstores we went in were super crowded. I was glad for the bookstore's sake, but it wasn't conducive for filming or shopping! haha.

    Great video Krista. I’ve been to DC a couple of times. Once in 2003 in 8th grade and 2018 on a Youth Tour trip for my job where I was a chaperone. When I was in 8th grade we did the Holocaust Museum trip and I’ll never forget it. So emotional.

    • @BooksAndJams

      DC is a great city to visit. Many of the museums are free and there is a ton to see just walking around.

    Hey, you were in my neck of the woods! I live in DC. It was fun seeing you at places I've frequented. Have been to both the Old Town book store in Alexandria and Second Story Books in Dupont Circle. (Kramerbooks and Afterwords is also in that neighborhood, but it's small.)
    If you decide to come back to DC again for a book adventure, I'd recommend going to Politics and Prose. They have three locations, but their flagship store is at the 5000 block of Connecticut Ave., NW. They have wonderful author talks and lots of great books for everyone. Also, I'd recommend East City Books near Eastern Market. There is also a book store in Georgetown called Bridge Street Books that's small but nice. Solid State Books is also a good place to go. They have two locations, one in Northeast (east of the Capitol) and one in Northwest. Finally, Loyalty Books is worth a visit. They specialize in diverse books.
    As for used books, there's Capitol Hill Books in Southeast on Capitol Hill, of course. And, since you were in Maryland, there's a really good used bookstore there called Wonder Book at 15976 Shady Grove Rd. in Gaithersburg. I don't go there frequently since I don't have a car, but I do enjoy checking it out every once in a while.

    • @BooksAndJams
      @BooksAndJams  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We did go to Kramer books too. It was SO crowded so I didn't get much footage in there. We missed Afterwords. Thanks for the tips on others stores to visit. I will probably be back up there sometime!

    • @sassycatz4470
      @sassycatz4470 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, that's not a good store to just browse in during busy times and who knows when that is? I'm guessing that towards the end of the day or earlier in the day, they're less busy.@@BooksAndJams

    What a fun vlog, Krista! I’ve been to Washington, D.C. twice for 8th grade trips with each of my boys. I’d love to visit the Library of Congress one day. Book shopping is the best. 📚 Ya’ll picked up some great books. I get so emotional when I visit the Holocaust Museum. 😢 What an enjoyable weekend! 😊

    • @BooksAndJams
      @BooksAndJams  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The Library of Congress is such a beautiful building! And yes, the Holocaust Museum is so emotional and heavy, but important.

    Yay for another Vlog with these sweet bookish besties!
    And I love that y'all went to Museum of the Bible, it's on my list of places to go for sure! I have given financially when they were building and would love to see it. Have been to Holocaust Museum and still remember the way I felt. Still remember the room with the shoes. So affecting.
    Have finished 2 MG books so far for the readathon and on my 3rd and loving it!

    • @BooksAndJams
      @BooksAndJams  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The Museum of the Bible was very cool. There were some great displays and experiences in there. I could only share a small part. But we were there a few hours altogether. Yes, the Holocaust museum is a heavy, but important experience as well.

      When we went to Auschwitz, the rule was no pictures and videos in lots of places, but when people pulled out their phones and cameras they said nothing to them. I was thinking maybe they want this in the public eye, so many people anymore are disbelieving it ever existed, or wasn't "that bad".

    • @BooksAndJams
      @BooksAndJams  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It was a wonderful weekend. We did a lot, but also had quite a bit of down time too.

    • @BooksAndJams

      @BooksAndJams  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      For sure. I went there about 20 years ago and can still remember how moving it was. It's so well done. I haven't been to many of the museums, but enjoyed the ones I have been too. DC is a great place to visit because there's just so much to do!
