After we saw the White House our son asked if we could go into one of the museums we went into during our trip last year. We had seen The Air and Space Museum, The Museum of Natural History and The Museum of American History. As we walked around we found the American History one so we went inside. After we went through security the first thing we saw was Batgirl's Batmobile. That was cool.
We walked through the museum and saw some of the same from last year such as the chairs used in All In The Family and Julia Child's kitchen but there was a lot of new stuff added too.
My mom always speaks of her childhood obsession with Howdy Doody.
Our daughter loved the dresses worn by previous first ladies and they even had the dress that Melania Trump wore to the Inaugural Ball.
*Disclaimer: Any negative comments made about President Trump and Mrs. Trump will be deleted.
Our son even tried to give a presidential speech.
Then after we left DC we found a huge mall nearby that had many great stores. We stopped at Friday's for dinner, checked out the American Girl Doll store and made it to the Washington Redskins store just in time before they were ready to close.
We didn't make it home until almost midnight and thankfully had the chance to sleep in the next day. The trip had some not-so-tolerable moments but enough good things to make it worth the trip. I'm not sure when/if we'll make it to DC again but it is one of our favorite places to be.
