Museum Trip

Today we ventured into D.C. to the Natural History Museum. We learned a few things.
#1. Never attempt to navigate your way around the big city when you've become accustomed to the slow pace of Winchester.
#2. Try to visit the museums during the week, instead of a semi-warm Saturday....the throng of people was pretty thick today.
#3. Always check to make sure the elevator is working before you park on the 3rd floor of a parking garage...that way you won't have to lug 2 kids and a stroller up a zillion flights of stairs like we did today.
#4. And, pack a lunch...otherwise, you'll be spending 4$ for a hotdog and nearly 6$!!! for a Sprite.

Anyway, we did have fun...Hannah loved all the animal exhibits. Sadie did great...she slept for a bit and the rest of the time, she just did this....


They had this really neat Discovery Room..where they had hands on exhibits for kids. Hannah liked the crocodile head....She said "Oh No, where's his feet?!"


We went upstairs and saw the Hope Diamond, then to the gift shop...where there were tons of "precious" and "rare" rocks to look at. I think this was Hannah's favorite part of the whole day. She filled up a little bag of stones to take home.


Had fun, but we'll definitely be taking the train next time.....and Hannah's portable potty. :)
