Touring DC

Some of the highlights in DC included the Smithsonian museums (Natural History, Air and Space); the Washington Monument, Whitehouse, Capitol Building, Lincoln Monument, and the International Spy Museum. You could spend a day at each museum (the Smithsonian is actually comprised of 19 museums – all free of charge!). We hit some of the highlights – the kids liked the dinosaurs at the Natural History Museum; the Hope Diamond; the original Star Spangled Banner that inspired the anthem in 1778 in Baltimore Harbour as the British were attacking throughout the night; much of the set for Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian; etc, etc.
