Washington DC

One of the things that I really wanted to do with George, was to visit DC. Dad sent some money so we could take him and we had some fun. First of all, it was super hot, second, we didn't get to do about half the things that George wanted to do. Hence, the grumpy face. We did get to walk past the White House and the Washington Monument. We went to the Natural History Museum (lunch cost almost $50!) where Sadie got to hold a 150 million-year-old fossil of a Stegosaurus. It had just been cut out of sandstone so she was one of the first people to touch and hold it. I don't think she understood the significance of it, but she thought it was neat. We went to the National Archives where we saw the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence. (the pictures weren't very good because flashes weren't allowed.) Then we tried to go to the Art Museum but it was closed so we walked to the Capital.

I don't recommend going when it is so hot, but we did have fun despite the heat stroke. j/k I put together a slide show because there were so many pictures. Let me know what you think of it.
