The Smithsonian

I love Washington DC. There is so much History, just everywhere....literally. I love the vibe there too, everyone just seem so smart, so educated...I of course felt like an illiterate hillbilly but I felt privileged to be in the midst of such individuals. I have always loved to read, loved politics, loved the judicial process. While attending college, I was a student employee with the Department of Justice and we would get the opportunity to go to the swearing in ceremonies for Immigrations. My sister and I would just be so enamored to see the Judge pass us by. We would quietly squeal to each other, "OMG that's the JUDGE!!!" We were political science geeks, so go figure!

Last month, my sister Ally and her Husband Aarron allowed the girls & I to tag along with them on a short 2 day trip to DC. We walked, and walked, and walked (anyone who has visited DC can attest to this!). We were able to visit two parts of the enormous Smithsonian museum (this is my 4th trip to DC and I am no where near seeing everything). Believe it or not that took a whole day. We visited the Air and Space portion, and the American History. I had such a blast!! Hazel & Jade were so good and I feel very privileged that I have children that love museums and can behave appropriately!!! Of course I was blessed to have one asleep at the Air and Space museum (Jade), and one asleep for part of the American History Museum (Hazel).

I hope you enjoy the photos....

At the American History Museum...


This is Julia Child's Kitchen. I think it's cute how Hazel just stood there in awe for about 15 minutes. I think she feels very at home in the kitchen since Joe is very hands on with her in regards to cooking and let's her "help" with dinner even letting her help "chop"!

The had an exhibit on American toys...


Jade as the "President"...

We hope you have a wonderful Sunday.


Much love,
