Museum of Natural History

We took a long weekend just before school started and headed out to Washington D.C. area to visit my brother and his family. We had a great time visiting him, Betty Ann, and my nephew Aidan. The first full day we had in town, we made a trip to the National Mall and headed into the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. It was a lot of fun checking out the exhibits, and the boys loved it, especially the dinosaur and other pre-historic exhibits.



Kate had a great time too, although she enjoyed looking at pretty jewlery and other shiny artifacts....


Aidan just thought hanging out with all his crazy cousins was the cool part!


They even have a kids "Discovery" area which gave the boys and Kate a chance to wander around and check out things up close. Here Owen checks out some bugs under the microscope while Kate and Mommy look on.


Be sure to check out the Picasa Album for many more pictures of our adventure in the Museum.
