Adventure

For Father's Day weekend we did a few fun things. Thankfully the humidity went down and we had some gorgeous weather. We first hit up the National Archives where we got to see the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights among other interesting historical records.


After that, we walked across the street through a very cool sculpture museum/park. It has various works of art and is just a really neat place to relax, have a snack, or enjoy being outside. 



I was a little bit worried that someone would end up in the fountain. Thankfully, we managed to escape that scenario.

Cool silver tree and pyramid made out of stone blocks.



Once we were tired and hot, we headed inside the Air and Space museum again for a look at the Apollo missions exhibit. We also got some much needed grub. Then we headed to the Native American Museum. This was our first time there with the kids. I was impressed. They have a small area just for them that we really enjoyed. They got to make crafts, climb things, hear animal sounds, learn basket weaving, build igloos, and just interact with stuff. It was also the least crowded museum that we've gone through. Pretty nice and relaxing.






On our way out of the city we stopped in Georgetown to try out the famous Georgetown Cupcake. Chris dropped me off and found a place to sit with the kids while I stood in line for 45 minutes!!!! The whole time I was thinking, these cupcakes had better blow my mind. We tried the key lime, strawberry, chocolate brownie cheescake, carrot, vanilla, and chocolate. They were tasty, but pretty small for the $3 per price. It was an experience I guess. Now we can check that off the list. It was a great weekend!

...worried that 'someone' would end up in the fountain...

Does 'someone's' name start with an 'N'? Lol.
