After (trying) to sleep in, Mindy and I decide to venture out into the new madhouse of Washington, DC. First stop, the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. We entered into the cafeteria and bought a subtle lunch and searched for a seat. After, we fought our way through the crowd and had to turn our museum visit into a mission instead of a peaceful wandering. It was really cool to see the various animals and the evolution of the human being physically and culturally. I also saw the Hope Diamond after fighting through a resisting crowd to take a picture.
Then, we pretty much ran through the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum with most of the Bonas group. Unfortunately, most of the space travel exhibits were closed for unknown reasons (the exhibits that I actually wanted to see). The best thing that I saw was the Wright Brother’s first airplane flown in Kitty Hawk. I am so glad that I have been able to finally witness the extent of our great history. I can not believe this experience is almost over and that the greatly anticipated inauguration is in 12 hours. I am sooo excited to see our country finally switch gears towards hope, especially when we need it the most. We will be leaving at 4 AM sharp to try to secure a close spot!
