We had a very busy day today. Before I tell you about it…let me say Happy Birthday to my baby boy…Christian is 3 today!!! YAY!!
Okay..so today was great! The weather wasn’t great, but it wasn’t awful either and we decided to make the best of it. Our plan was to go to the Air & Space Museum and to the Natural History Museum. Due to getting alittle turned around…and not wanting to back track in the cold drizzling rain, we decided to do the American History Museum and the Natural History Museum instead (they’re next door to each other)…saving the Air & Space Museum for another day. This post is going to be loaded with pics…and these are only a few of them…oh, by the way…I let my kids take pictures too, so these may not all be ‘great’ quality.
We started out by taking the Metro Rail…the kids LOVED it… although they look alittle serious in these pics
We also saw Julia Childs kitchen…
and we saw the Star-Spangled Banner exhibit…(no cameras were allowed inside, but this is the entrance)…
There were hundreds more pictures…we spent more than 4 hours in these museums, but those are a few highlights.
Tonight we enjoyed a wonderful Italian dinner, then we came back to have alittle cake for Christian, let him open some birthday presents, then to rest and relax..everyone is watching “Inspector Gadget” and just unwinding right now…
Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and beautiful, so we’re planning to be outside, walk and see the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the White House and the Capital building. We’re also hoping to get back by the Museum of Natural History and walk through the live butterflies…and we’re going to drive over to Arlington Cemetary and see the changing of the guard. We have BIG plans…I hope our feet don’t quit on us and we get to see it all!
Until tomorrow…
Love, Rose
What a great time you all seem to be having. Thanks for sharing. Have a blast tomorrow, too.
Thanks Jennie. We're missing you guys. Do you remember Elaine McAndrew? Her husband Pat had a heart attack on Sunday morning and he's in ICU at Tulane. Please be praying.
