Washington D.C. Trip Update - Day 5

Today we got to sleep in!! We woke up in no hurry and took our time. The first thing we were going to do was the National Archives, which opened at 10AM, so Carl could get some video.

Today I took Opie, dad’s Webkinz opossum, and Frank, my Webkinz pug, along since we were visiting a museum for most of the day and they also wanted to see Washington D.C.!! (It was silly, but they don’t weight much!!)

The first stop was the National Archives. Carl couldn’t take video inside so he did it outside the building. The second stop was the Natural Museum of Art. We came to see a specific exhibit. We looked all around for it then asked a guard if it was still there. He said it had been moved so we just left after that. Outside the museum we ate lunch then headed to the Air and Space Museum, which we spent almost the rest of the day in.

The first exhibit we visited was on how things fly. This exhibit was all hands-on! It was tons fun!!! Then we checked out the middle open area. We kind of quickly walked through it then went to the food court to get a treat from McDonalds.

After eating, we visited many exhibits. One of my favorite ones was the World War II exhibit with the planes and uniforms from the different countries.

Once we checked all the exhibits out, we walked toward the Supreme Court. We passed the back of the Capitol and stopped so Carl could get some video. While doing so dad and I took pictures of our Webkinz in front of the Capitol!!

Then we made it to the Supreme Court and waited for Carl to finish his video footage. After that we were off to the metro station and back at our hotel. Since Thursday was the last provided dinner of the week at the hotel, mom made Pot Roast for dinner!! And it was yummy!!
