People and Things

Most of the "things" are from the National American History Museum. This is G. Washington's suit. It is kind of neat to see these clothes in person because it really gives you a sense of his size and stature.



We found a practice being a president pedestal. Here is my sister Betsy.

One of the coolest exhibits in the American History Museum was the Lincoln exhibit. This was Lincoln's wife's dress. Below is his suit. He was so tall!
Lincoln's Hat.We stood in line for over 30 minutes for the pop culture section of the American History Museum speculating what fun wonders and American history items they might have there. Images of Elvis, Michael Jackson, Star Wars/Trek, Woodstock, Brady Bunch etc rolled through our minds as we anticipated how cool the exhibit must be to have a line 30 minutes long. When we got there - anti climatic cant encompass how we felt. The room was as big as my living room with literally 8 items in it. Two of which we even cared to take a picture of. Below are Kermit the frog and the Ruby slippers (which by the way are not made out of real rubies - name that movie!)

The Air and Space Museum was pretty cool. Lots of historic and modern airplanes, space ships, rockets and more. There was a really great section devoted to learning the mechanics of flight. It was geared to children and the kids loved trying out the experiments.
While in DC, my sister and her family came up for their spring break. Lyman says his favorite part of the trip was seeing his cousin Kyle.

Picnics on the National Mall were lovely.
