Let me just say it again...IT'S HOT! Seriously hot, and humid! We aren't sissies but whoa! The weather did confirm for me though, I would have had a short lived life as a pioneer.
Our first stop was the museum of natural history. This is where you're greeted with this;
I like all the stuffed animals. I know every natural history museum has them, but they're special here. Not the usual coyote or lion. They have some critters you don't see very often.
And check out this dude!
Our next stop was the Museum of Air and Space. This was fun for Mom because she worked in aerospace. Really though, who wouldn't be impressed by this!!!
Our last stop for day 2 was the National Archives Building. So many things in this building will give you chills. It's hard to imagine how it feels to be standing right in front of the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States. These men, with hopes and dreams and ideas, founders of a nation. Good stuff man!
We ate in the diners in this hotel, a couple times. It's the Hotel Harrington. The oldest hotel in DC. It opened in 1914. It was also the first air conditioned hotel in the city.
And while we're talking about old buildings, this is St. Patricks Church. The oldest church in the city. It was built in 1792!
I was amazed at well it's held up, what great condition it's in. And it's beautiful inside!
