When Jessica and Blake were with us this summer, they wanted to tour the DC Mall. So, with my Mom, we drove into DC on a Saturday morning. First, we walked near the Washington Monument and took lots of photos. Then we waled to the Museum of Natural History. We took Blake through the Ocean and mammals and gems exhibits before we found out that the dinosaur exhibit was closed. They had moved it to a smaller exhibit on the second floor.

Then we went inside the Air and Space Museum. We went through the rocket. That's all we had time for that day. But it was fun to go into DC for a day.
