Washington DC Part I

We headed to DC the day after Todd's birthday.  With Mark and Louise living so close, we definitely wanted to take advantage and visit the sights.  We loved seeing how much the kids had grown and visit with Mark and Louise.  The first day, Todd and Mark attended a baseball game. Then we took a day to fit in three Smithsonians in eight hours.

 I didn't know that this flag was one that the Confederates used before the traditional one came about.

  

 After the American History Museum, we found a shady park bench to enjoy lunch.  Close by, we could hear a street performer playing on trash cans as drums.  Madelyn loved watching him!
 Then we saw the Nature History Museum. 
 Maddie stayed awake for the dinosaurs, but just couldn't keep her open for the Hope Diamond.
 By the time we were finished seeing the gems and headed to the animal exhibit, her nap was over.



 The final Smithsonian was the Space and Air Museum.  Maddie was tried of sitting in the stroller, so I followed her around mostly while Todd enjoyed the aircraft.
