Day 8

--National Museum of Natural History: saw Rexy, chatted with a dinosaur expert/docent, touched dinosaur bones/teeth/poo (turns out it doesn't smell), learned how to tell whether the bones are real or replicas, saw the mammal exhibit, ocean exhibit, giant squid, Hope Diamond, gems and rocks, 1600's skeletons and forensics, had a good conversation with the kids on what we believe about the theory of evolution, and loved the hands on exhibits for the kids
--Lunch: picnic on the National Mall, played a little frisbee, then back to Natural History (to finish all the exhibit halls)
--National Museum of American History: Lincoln exhibit (really cool!), Star Spangled Banner (it's huge!)
--Walk to the White House (to see the other side)
--It was a good and busy day. I'm taking an average of 100 pictures a day. I wonder how many miles we've walked.
