After a good night's sleep we started day 2 by celebrating my birthday in Washington, DC with breakfast at Starbucks. Can't imagine spending my day with anyone else then my 3 favorite people.
After breakfast we headed to see the National Museum of American History.
 |
| The flag was amazing! It was stored under special conditions, so we couldn't take any pictures. |
 |
| The earliest known manuscript of Francis Scott Key’s song, the Star Spangled Banner. |
 |
| Julia Child's Kitchen |
 |
| Our own "American History Makers" |
 |
| One of our favorite Muppets |
 |
| Dorothy's Ruby Red Slippers from the Wizard of Oz. A highlight for Sarah. |
 |
| The video camera that captured the first plane crash into the Twin Towers on 9/11/01 |
 |
| George Washington's uniform |
Kyle, Christy, Sophia and Caleb met up with us for the day and we went to the National Museum of Natural History to check out the dinosaurs.
 |
| There's Rexy |
 |
| Glad I didn't meet up with this Great White Shark when it was alive. |
 |
| The famous Hope Diamond. A mere 45 carats. It started as 122 carats. |
 |
| The kids were unimpressed and thought this rock was the Hope Diamond. |
A stop at the carousel for a ride.
Onto the National Museum of Air & Space
 |
| One of Amelia Earhart's planes. |
Finally after two days of asking Brayden got his Spiderman ice cream.
Last stop was a boat cruise on the Potomac River, which was a little disappointing, but we enjoyed the time together.
 |
| Caleb with a trooper. He went all day with us only taking a 10 minute nap. |
One more post yet to come for the rest of our vacation.
