Day 3

Day three and we wake up in the heart of DC...well, not really the heart, but Dupont Circle, which is close enough to walk to the heart. We start the day by heading to the monuments. We saw the Washington Monument, Lincoln, WWII, and Vietnam. All very moving.
Then we headed to the Smithsonian museums. We learned saw a great dinosaur exhibit at the Museum of Natural History and rode in a fighter pilot simulator at the Air and Space Museum (um, yeah- my son needs to work on his pilot skills....). We then headed to the National Art Museum where we almost bought an original George Surat. Ask me later, I'm still trying to get over the whole episode.
After the museums we headed to the National Archives were we got to see the Declaration,, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. VERY cool stuff.
