Washington D.C. - Day 1

The boys and I are spending Fall Break visiting Auntie and Uncie in DC.  We had a great first day.  Here is a summary of our what we did:

The day started off at Union Station where we caught the Metro to the Smithsonian.

The boys loved riding the Metro.  They became experts at navigating the different lines.


Our first stop was the Museum of Natural History.

The boys loved seeing the REAL mummy.  Gray has been asking about mummies ever since I put Mr. Mummy in my yard at the beginning of the month.  He was fascinated to discover that they are real, and amazingly, he is very happy that they are dead.  I believe that makes them less likely to chase him.

Caleb was brave and held some sort of big freaky grasshopper-thingy.

For lunch, we had a picnic on the lawn.  It was a beautiful setting.

After lunch, the boys asked if they could "train."  They are obsessed with samurai/ninja training, just like the Power Rangers or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles do.

Then, we went to Air & Space.


Finally, we finished the day back at Union Station where we enjoyed a mummy cupcake!
