Ok, so maybe this wasn’t that great of an idea. I thought that walking wouldn’t be too much of a strain on me, but I’m exhausted. We haven’t even gotten halfway through everything. The whole Metro experience was, well, an experience. Annabelle loved the train ride. It was different. We definitely don’t have something like that back home. We get off at the Smithsonian stop and make our way up from under the city. The first thing that I notice is the temperature difference. It was nice and cool in the train, but it sure is hot up here. We haven’t done anything and I’m sweating. Kelsey wasn’t joking about the heat and humidity.

Our first stop is the Natural history museum. Thank goodness they have air conditioning. Annabelle grabs my hand and drags me to a room that is full of dinosaurs and other pre-historic animals. We all stay in a group and walk around. On the main floor, they have a children’s area that Annabelle can touch and explore other items. I find a bench and sit down while she goes and has fun. Kelsey comes and sits next to me. I reach over and grab her hand. After a little while, Annabelle wants to go and look at other stuff. We go into the mammal and ocean areas. She stops to look at everything. We are all starting to get hungry and go to the basement and get lunch.

After that we head on over to the National Museum of American History. I can tell that Kelsey is in her element in this place, she starts to glow and a big smile comes across her face.

“Oh, no, watch out. The nerd girl going to come out,” Lauren says when we walk in.

Shoving Lauren to the side, I laugh. “Oh, shut up. You know that this is my favorite place, besides the ball park, that is.” Kelsey winks at me. We haven’t stopped holding hands since I grabbed her at the last museum, except to eat.

We walk into a room and it’s really dark, there are pictures on the walls explaining the war of 1812 in the city and surrounding areas, we turn a corner and you get to see an American flag that is about two hundred years old and it’s on display. Kelsey tells us that this is what inspired the National Anthem. We walk out of that exhibit and head into another exhibit that Kelsey thinks Annabelle would like. There are little children books on display. Annabelle walks over and looks at all the pictures on the covers.

We also see some American items from as far back as the pilgrim’s settlement to a Kermit the Frog Muppet. We then go upstairs to the third floor and Mom looks at the dresses from the First Ladies that are on display. There is also a huge area for the Presidents. It’s pretty cool. The best part for Kevin and me was when we went in the basement and all of the cars, trains, and other mechanical items were on display.
