Washington D.C

We had so much fun on our trip to Washington D.C! After parking at the Union Station (behind us), which is a real train station, we went on an adventure by foot with Corbins dad and sister.

This bell was at the train station. It is huge!

The architecture here is amazing! (statue at the station)

Next we went to the SPY museum! It was pretty cool, but pricy. We had to memorize a secret identity and go on a "mission" throughout the museum. We learned about the spy's throughout the years and all the neat gadgets they used (like a lipstick gun, shoe microphone, and a hollow coin for hiding secrets).It got me thinking about what today's technology is!

Next we went and saw: The Declaration of Independance, Constitution, and Bill of rights in this building (The national archives). Once again... amazing architecture!

This is just a side door (below)

THESE are the main doors! Once you really could go through them... now a small door.

Across the street was an art gallery in a park. Unique artistic views covered the park... this one happens to be my favorite. It is a tree made entirely out of metal!

Across from the park was the "mall" which is the famous patch of grass when you think of Martin Luther king. One side is the capital (below)...

... And the other side is the pencil

On the right side is the Smithsonian which is actually made of sandstone

(says my rock -savy hubby)

But my favorite museum by far was the Museum of Natural History (located across from the smithsonian on the left side of the mall). You walk in and see this!

We went to the ocean part first... This is the jaw bone of a HUGE prehistoric shark. I'm SOOOO glad they are extinct!!

We ended up getting so into the museum that we didn't take a lot of pictures. We got to see a mummy, a bunch of human/ caveman skulls, a giant squid, every rock in the world, and the biggest diamond in the world.

We walked back to our car exhausted and sticky with sweat, however, it was an incredibly fun day!!!
