Sunday we got up and went to breakfast at a local diner – I want
to say it was Edith’s diner. It was
really good, excellent food. After
breakfast we drove over to Arlington National Cemetery and took the trolley
tour. It was sweltering hot, but I
couldn’t go to DC without letting Kaylee see the sacrifice our Solders paid for
our freedom. After Arlington we
grabbed a bite to eat and then went for our 2:15 appointment at the National
Archives.
I was so glad we planned ahead and got passes because the
line was around the building. We went in
and saw the founding documents of our nation and they have a ton of other
exhibits as well. I think Mama and
Jack would have enjoyed spending some more time exploring, but Kaylee and I
were super bored. Once we left there we headed
out to the American History Museum …
It was awesome to see the Star Spangled Banner in real life,
it was huge, much bigger than I ever imagined.
The transportation exhibit was pretty cool and they had a doll house
that was awesome, the dream house of every little girl. After the American History Museum we went to
and got an ice-cream and enjoyed sitting down a few minutes, it was
awesome. It was a good break - days of walking had started to wear on all of
us, but we were determined to see as much as we could.
Once our break was up we headed to the Natural History Museum. Kaylee and I paid extra and went through the
butterfly exhibit; it was pretty cool – not as neat as the one @ the Botanical
Gardens in GA, but neat never-the-less. I think Kaylee liked it – it’s hard to tell
w/ her. Once we went through that we
split up for a bit. Kaylee and Jack went
to see something and Mama and I headed into the National Geographic photography
exhibit. There were some incredible photographs
and a bench to sit and look at them … it was really incredible. I loved it.
After the natural history museum we headed over to the Old
Ebbitt Grill; it was a recommendation of a friend of mine and it was good, we
were all so tired though. Once we went
to dinner we headed back to the hotel and crashed for the night.
