Washington D.C.

We have been busy for a couple weeks which means we have been on a trip. This time we are in Washington D.C. so far we have been to The Natural History Museum it was amazing! We saw the Hope Diamond, rubies, diamonds, extinct animals (stuffed) and much more.


My favorite exhibit was the world's largest diamond; it was amazing! I also liked the rarest mineral/diamond in the world.It was black but it had a red star in the middle. The Star of Asia was pretty. It was blue with a white star in the middle. There were also diamonds worn by queens, kings, and famous people.


The Air and Space Museum was interesting but we didn't see it all. We saw the gift shop, a simulator, planes, and the bathroom. The simulator was OK but a kid about nine was whimpering in the back for 5 minutes! I bought space food in the gift shop which was fun to eat. It was ice cream flavored (don't tell my Dad :T )


We went up in the Washington Monument top! It was amazing! I saw the White House, the Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial, and everything from the top of the Washington Monument!!!!

Sounds like you had a great day in DC! Glad you enjoyed it! The air and space museum hasn't changed in about 20 years except that they took my favorite flight attend showcase down about 10 years ago.
