Day Two

Our first full day and my feet are ready to come home! We walked and we walked and we walked and then walked some more! The weather is nice and warm...it was 83 today...the humidity is awful though. Thankfully the buildings are nice and cool in side. Today was Smithsonian Day!

After hitting the Starbucks across the street from the hotel we made our way to the Castle.


Inside the Sample Exhibits Hall...just what the name implies it's a sampling of things you'll see in each of the museums of the Institute.


Here are some of the highlights...there was so much to see...I took 264 pictures.

The Ruby Slippers


Mr. Roger's Sweater


From the National Art Gallery - The only DaVinci painting in the United States


From the Natural History Museum - A Fossil...



...and a rock - The Hope Diamond


After all that we then went to "The Capitol Steps" funny comedy show where they change lyrics of well-known songs to fit political figures. Then a hamburger...mmm...delicious!!

Tomorrow more walking.
