We began the day by a metro ride back into DC. We first went to the castle, that is in the mall and then made our way over to the Ronald Reagan building for lunch with Clyde's first greeny in Poland, and his family. We did this a few years ago when we went to DC for Christmas. They are a lovely bunch the H family. They will be heading to Brazil with the State Department soon. Fun job no?
After our good-byes, we went to the Smithsonian-American History museum. As soon as we walked in there was C3PO's costume. We had some very happy boy Wardlings. We also saw Dorothy's ruby slippers. (Penny was more than thrilled to see Dorothy's slippers. She wanted to know if she could try them on. Oh how I wish you could've sweetie pie.) Oh Happy Day!! Other hightlights were Kermit the Frog, Lincoln's hat and hands, Carol Burnet's curtain dress, the original stars and stripes flag, the First Ladies ball gowns...Erin liked the doll house minatures as well.
It was then back on the metro to get back to our hotel. The Wardlings were both pros and getting on and off, and sliding their tickets, but were also very sick of riding the metro.
Then that night we drove back into DC to look around at the buildings @ night. we saw the Washington Monument and the Jefferson memorial.
