My Trip to the Natural History Museum in Washington DC

Went to the Natural History museum today...and the National Archives...and I wandered around downtown DC some. Figured I'd practice being a tourist for my upcoming trip to U.K. Anyway, here are a some photos

Doesn't anyone smile anymore?

Nice tiger....too bad he's stuffed...

Open wide...

Bug exhibit had some pretty colorful butterflies...this was one of the more colorful ones...

Three guesses as to what this is...and no it is not a pile of marshmallow man poop!

For some reason the gem exhibit was the most popular...and the Hope diamond was the centerpiece. There was only one guard, and she for some reason had it in her mind to direct traffic when it didn't really need directing...I think she had her gun belt on a bit too tight...

More pretty colors...

From the National Archives...We the People...

There was something going on at the Capitol Building today...lots of rainbow flags being waived...

This is a fountain located in a newly finished park about a block away from where I live. Pretty colors...

You know I couldn't post a blog entry without putting at least one Autostitch composition up :-)
