Site Seeing!

Since we live right outside of DC, Brett and I sort of take for granted that we have so many museums and places to site see right around the corner. That is until we have relatives or friends in town to remind us, and then we are shocked at how much we enjoy everything this city has to offer!

A few weeks ago was one of those times! Brett's cousin Kim was in town, and Brett got the chance to take a day off work. So we spent the afternoon exploring the Mall and a couple of the museums that are down around that area.

We started out at the Air and Space Museum, before walking down the street past the monuments on our way to the Museum of Natural History.

The Museum of Natural History had a really cool mammal exhibit, but we were a little disappointed that the giant ant farm was no longer there.

We also wanted to visit the zoo, but the weather didn't hold up. Hopefully we will make it down soon... even if we don't have any visitors to take with us.

I really want to go to the zoo too! I haven't been there since they added the new "Asian" trail.

We should do a group zoo outing! Anthony loves to see the animals :P My favorite is the invertebrates - and they have a really large ant farm!
