When we were in England earlier this year, The Husband got to
choose where to go one day - and he chose Bletchley Park, where the
code-breakers where based during World War II.
Daughter-Two found it quite fascinating, even though she had not yet seen "The Imitation Game" - the movie about Alan Turing (portrayed in the film as clearly having Aspergers) and the other code-breakers who cracked the enigma code machines.
She cried at this quote on the wall of the museum:
Do you know, this morning I was on a train that went through a city that wouldn't exist if it wasn't for you. I bought a ticket from a man who would likely be dead if it wasn't for you. I read up, on my work, a whole field of scientific inquiry that only exists because of you. Now, if you wish you could have been normal... I can promise you I do not. The world is an infinitely better place precisely because you weren't.
She even got to sit in one of the sets from the movie:
Here they are scrapped:
digital scrapbooking, England, WWII, history, union jack
