D.C. Visits


Our friend Misty, came to visit us for a few days. It was so nice to see her and spend time with her again. We went to the National Museum of Natural History one of the days she was here. We have been there a few times, but we haven't seen all of the exhibits. So this time, we went to the Ocean Hall, it's all about ocean life. It was very cool and the kids had fun seeing the fish and playing around with the interactive stuff they had there.


On Museum Day, a couple of Saturdays ago, we headed to the National Geographic Museum. This time with Scottie, since he had the day off. I guess, on Museum Day, you can get in to some museums around the U.S. for free...so we printed off our tickets and headed to D.C. although the National Geographic Museum is free, some of the exhibits aren't. This gecko exhibit wasn't free, but we got in for free with our pass.

It was fun learning about these animals. They are so interesting looking.

We all had a fun time.

They had a little section for kids to color. Brielle and Braden both love to color, so we spent quite a few minutes there.

They had these fun bean bags...they were so comfy.

After the gecko exhibit we had lunch in this little patio area in between the buildings.

After our little lunch, we went to see this AMAZING photography exhibit called "Simply Beautiful". It was so funny because, that is exactly what I wanted to say after admiring each of those photos! They were amazing!!!!

But...can you say that this one is just "simply beautiful"?
