Day Four in DC

Monday was another rainy one but the plan was to spend the whole day inside at three different Smithsonians so it worked out okay. We got off the Metro at Federal Triangle and walked a couple of blocks over to start at the Museum of American History.

The Batmobile





Since we didn't get to see inside the White House it was nice to tour these exhibits about First Ladies, White House china and the Presidents.







Voting Rights, Ballot boxes and some of the first women in the military 






Apologizing for putting the Japanese in camps during WW2
Clara Barton's ambulance

Woolworth counter from a Civil Rights protest 

Demonstrating an old record player for kids

It made me feel old to see my childhood computer on display. 




My grandparents had a table like this in their kitchen for most of my life. 
Museum of Natural History 


The Hope Diamond

A display on diseases and how they spread was pretty interesting to the kids. 




Bones, bones and more bones 









Mummies! 




The Hall of Oceans 







Other animals









Walking across the mall we saw the Smithsonian Castle 



The Museum of Air and Space 



























Wesley's souvenir from Air and Space was a big hit on the subway. 





And Davis got a mummy astronaut keychain! 
We went back to Dupont Circle and had dinner at Bareburger. They had an awesome vegan burger for me wrapped in collard greens and also had a vegan shake. Everyone else loved their burgers and shakes too.








And we finished up New Year's Eve with the boys at the movies! We took them back to Chinatown to this huge theater next to the Capitol One Center and watched Aquaman!
