Our goal was to go to a few museums, the National Aquarium, and not walk as much as the last time we came:) We did pretty good until we learned, after a lot of walking, that the National Aquarium have been moved to Maryland back in the spring. The kids were bummed, they love to go see live fish! This day happened to be on a Saturday, which was great for the Metro, not at all busy, price is cheaper on the weekends, and free parking. However, not for the museums! Crazy busy and hard to really enjoy the exhibits! I hate big crowds so I learned not to got to these museums on a weekend in the summer, if you can help it.
National Museum of Natural History
We loved being greeted by this massive elephant.
We all loved this turtle. We were shocked to see how big it was compared to us!
They had to pretend to be eaten by Megaladon!
We also went the the National Museum of American History. However, after waiting in line to get in and attempting the exhibit on the history of our american wars. We decided the crowd was to much and we left. We just weren't able to see anything and enjoy ourselves. The kids weren't too into it either and you need happy kids in D.C.!
National Gallery Sculpture Garden
Huge highlight of the day!
We loved seeing all the amazing sculptures and trying to figure out what some of them were.
The best part was cooling our hot tired feet off in the pool.
My dad actually remembers having to use this tool in school! That's why the thumbs down;)
