There's no place like home

Museum day #2 - today we spent close to a good three hours each at the National Museum of American History, where saw such national treasures as the ruby slippers from the Wizard of Oz, the Star Spangled Banner, and Julia Child's Kitchen, as well as taking the time to immerse ourselves in two exhibitions about the American Presidency in general, and Abraham Lincoln in particular; and at the National Museum of Natural History, where we visited the new exhibition on evolution, as well as marvelling at the Hope Diamond and spending some time looking at dinosaurs, fossils, gems and minerals.
