Our first official outing was at the National Museum in Addis on monday morning. It was incredible to see so much history! The museum houses contains numerous relics and archaeological artifacts starting from prehistoric times to the modern day. It was amazing to see so much history!

Over the years we have been learning of Ethiopia's history and culture through our love of Bob Marley. Therefore we were beyond thrilled to actually see Selassie's thrown and crown.

The Ethiopian culture is so rich and we plan to only continue to learn about this amazing culture and keep this culture alive in our family!

Such a fabulous visit you are having!! Ethiopia has an interesting history that starts with the birthplace of mankind. Doesn't get more fascinating than that. The throne seat easily accomodates you both as monarchs of your own family. Happy to know that you will be incorporating Baby "M" 's birthplace history into the family life as it is so fascinating. Give my sweet precious granddaughter a kiss and a squeeze and then give one to each other..... all from me. Looking forward to all the stories you will bring back with you. Hugs and Love!!!
