--National Mall Junior Ranger certifications: the kids worked on their packets for a few days, answering questions and learning about the monuments on the Mall, so they got their badges,a certificate, and a bouncy world ball (a fabulous toy for walking around a busy town).
--Washington Monument: got tickets, rode the elevator to the top, the day was beautiful and clear, had lunch in the shadow of the Monument, played ball and laughed.
--National Art Gallery (fine and modern art): we didn't spend a great deal of time here, Zachary suggested that the sculptors were perverts and Anna was uncomfortable with the immodesty in the paintings. Jeremy would've like to have spent a little more time there, inasmuch as he's studied art history. The underground walkway was very creative (last picture).
--National Air & Space: we went back to spend some more time in the stars and outer space exhibits which the kids really loved.
