Last Week in D.C.




We saw a LOT, walked a ton, avoided the heat by taking the metro when possible, and saw a few Imax films (including Harry Potter VI). Ended up enjoying the trip enough to ignore the camera for the most part! Only a few decent shots to share...enjoyed the monuments by night and those night-time shots are terrible. Need to learn to use the new camera!

Our new favorites: The National Postal Museum, The U.S. Botanic Garden. We still adore the Freer, Sackler, and The Natural History Museum. Thoroughly enjoyed the National Geographic exhibit on lions...incredible photos and stories! The Museum of the American Indian had a fascinating exhibit on tribes today. Last time we went the Museum of American History was closed, so this time we visited there first. Absolutely loved seeing Julia Child's kitchen and the exhibit on Lincoln.

We had a great time and can't wait to go back...next time we'll take Kiffer. I'm sure he'd LOVE the Natural History and Air & Space.
