After we left the zoo last Tuesday, we met up with Uncle Brandon and he showed us the "sights" in Washington D.C. Our first stop was the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Brian and I both loved visiting this museum as kids, and I think Olivia and Owen liked it, too. We didn't go through the stuffed mammal area because we had spent the whole morning at the zoo seeing live animals. Instead, we focused on the Ocean, Gemstone, Egypt, and Fossil (dinosaur) areas. The kids enjoyed seeing all of the exhibits. Olivia especially liked the "gem" gallery. She wanted me to take a picture of every crown, necklace, and precious stone in the room. I think she was mentally making a list of things to ask for for her birthday- like that will happen. I practically had to drag her out of that section of the museum. I wish that we would have had more time in D.C.- I would have liked to visit the Air and Space Museum. Oh, well. I guess there's always next year.
