DC Day 4

The day started out with a tour of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. It was a lot more exciting than it sounds. We saw how money was printed.This chart sort of made me wish I was taller... or at least taller than Collin.A model of the Wright brother's plane at the Air and Space museum.Collin with the actual Wright brothers. Yeah, they were there.The Smithsonian Castle.The Museum of American History. Collin really enjoyed this one.I enjoyed the American History Smithsonian as well but got really excited when I saw this. It made me think of you, mom!This will be the day. I'd vote for him in a heartbeat. Collin for President!Oh Colbert, you crack me up.This blank space is in lieu of a picture of the Pentagon. We were not allowed to take any and I really didn't want to see what Jamal, our tour guide, would have done if I'd tried. He was a big guy... and in the Navy. We also weren't allowed to use the bathrooms or drinking fountains. The second he said that I was parched and had to pee...





It was a busy day. I was actually happy to see the Metro.

Mt favorite is that "Collin really liked this one" although he does not smile in any pictures :) That is pretty funny, are you MAKING him have his picture taken :) He is a good guy.

As you already know, we are jealous.

I think your part about the pentagon was my favorite although the Museum of American history is still somewhere I have yet to visit!
