Perfect summer day part 1

Some people break out the beach chairs to start off summer. We head to the Smithsonian, something we only do in the summer because we aren't going NEAR Washington DC on the weekends. We hit the natural history museum for the morning.

Checking out the Plesiosaurs.... there was also a giant sea turtle. Neat!


Chloe is comparing her leg "bone" with this dinosaur shin bone.

Looking out at all the large dino skeletons from above. We didn't take any pictures of them this time. The kids still loved them, but this was the first time they actually looked at all the other little things that were a part of the exhibit.
A T-Rex skull


Right after this Gavin tried to climb in with the skeletons. He was MAD when I wouldn't let him.
This is my favorite picture of the day. My Chloe Jane in her puffy pink dress (that she picked) and a tiara (yes, she is wearing one if you look closely) staring up at the Triceratops bones. My baby girl summed up in a photo.

We hit other exhibits too... the mammals, the insect zoo, and a human origins exhibit for Dan. Lunch on the Mall lawn and then time to head home.
