Spring Break

We had a whirlwind trip to DC for Spring Break. The weather cooperated nicely, with temperatures in the upper 50s and lower 60s and partly sunny. We drove out Monday, spent Tuesday and Wednesday exploring various museums and sights around the Mall, and then returned home Thursday. Here are a few highlights.

The Hope Diamond


The White House


Kermit the Frog - in the Treasures of American Heritage display at the Air and Space Smithsonian (because the American History Smithsonian is closed for renovations)


A Lunar Landing Module from the Air and Space Museum


The Capitol Building
