This was the scene this morning in the Rotunda at the National Archives as our guests woke up after a fun night of history at our first #ArchivesSleepover.

Kids and their parents enjoyed a special night playing games, writing with quill pens, meeting best-selling author #BradMeltzer, learning about the Constitution from #CokieRoberts, and talking with reenactors playing Abraham Lincoln, Amelia Earhart, and Phyllis Wheatley.

These men and woman are from the United States Marine Corps Communications School. Last week, they participated in our “Constitution in Action” Learning Lab with the goal of learning more about the Constitution that they swore an oath to uphold and protect.
