DC: Day 4

I'm playing catch up with the blog, so my apologies.

Day 4 had us on our Hop On - Hop Off Trolley tour. We thought the best thing to do would be to ride the whole tour so we knew where it stopped. Then we tried to make mental notes of where we wanted to go. So all around DC we went, learning little tid bits of information. We got off at the Air and Space Museum. From here, we walked all around, visiting the moon rock, and rocket and planes and all other amazing things air and space. The weather was drizzly so by the time we got outside, we were using the umbrella.

From there, we went to the Musuem of American History. This one my favorite museum. There was a huge exhibit on the First Lady's gowns, and presidential artifacts. They also have artifacts from American pop culture, like the ruby slippers from Wizard of Oz, Archie Bunker's chair, and a Dumbo car from the Dumbo ride at Disneyland. There was really not enough time to see everything we wanted to. I say "we", but really I should have said "everything I wanted to". This was not Mark's favorite museum- he waited outside the exhibits for me to finish.

We had lunch at a place called Harry's because I was dying to eat. Bad move because it was not good food. The only good thing about the experience was watching Eli throw an interception, and see the Giants have their butts handed to them.

Day 4 also had us standing outside of Ford's Theatre where President Lincoln was shot.

It was a long day, as we did a lot of walking. I was in a grumpy mood because I wanted to see Julia Child's kitchen, but Mark was ready to go. He wanted to make the shuttle back to the hotel. So I was busy throwing a fit over that.

I think up to this point, this was our most exhausting day. It was just really a lot to take in.

We did get a hold of Danita on Day 4, and arranged to pick up Brianna. That was a definite plus for our day. We'd at least get to see them, and that had me super excited.

Onward to Day 5 in the next post!!!
