Ummm...yeah...sometimes we forget we live in Our Nation's Capital, home to some of the most beautiful monuments and museums around. So, when Doug had the amazing idea to take Addy to the National Museum of Natural History, I jumped at the idea!
The best part - it only took us 20 min tops to drive to the Mall, find a parking spot, and walk to the museum. So, we ask ourselves, why don't we do this all the time????
We invited G'ma Gurr to join us on our adventure. It was a fun day. There were tons of interesting exhibits, including a new ocean exhibit, home of a 45-foot replica of the new North Atlantic right whale. It is suspended above us in the pic below:
Addy went exploring in the hands-on kids discovery room. She thought the magnify glass was the coolest thing ever!
Looks like Daddy's having some fun too!
Look at these crazy amazing exhibits!
We also checked out the butterfly exhibit. For some reason Addy wasn't especially interested in it. There were butterflies everywhere and I think it frightened her a bit. One did land on Doug's shoulder and, as you can see in the photo, Addy was quite skeptical.
At least we got a pretty good family photo while in the butterfly exhibit! 
This is pretty much Avery throughout the museum. She couldn't be less interested :)
The adventure concluded with hot dogs and lemonade on the Mall and a carousel ride with G'ma!
What a great day to live in DC!

HOw fun!! I loved the yawning avery!! you guys are lucky to have so many fun things to do there. it is funny because when we lived in Utah we never went to the Grand Canyon, except when we drove through it to Arizona nor did we go to the great salt lake until AFTER we had moved away!! Funny how that works!
