Museum of Natural History
This tree is all metal, not just painted.
The line was ridiculously long to see the declaration of independence and the constitution
but we took a picture in front of the building at least.
We were mostly excited to go to the aerospace Smithsonian. Lots of cool stuff.
Luckily we had Brandon to tell us why it was cool.
Arlington National Cemetery was cool. We were there just in time for the changing
of the guard. Sorry, no pictures. It was pretty cool how reverent everyone was there.
The Iwo Jima monument was our last stop in the DC area and then we were off to North Carolina
It was way too much to see in a day, but we hit most of the big stuff. I had been before but I think everyone who hadn't was satisfied with what we saw. Stay tuned for more of our road trip fun.

How old do you think kids need to be to appreciate a DC trip? It looks like a lot of fun.
What's the story with the metal tree?
Did you go on a DC trip when you were in Manzanita? I think I was more interested in 8th grader stuff than I was in the history stuff on that trip. EmmaLee thinks that after 8 would be good because they would think it was all interesting, but it would probably be better to go before those teenage/preteen years.
