Vacation - Day 6

This morning we got up with a plan, a plan to start out at the American History Museum. This Museum is home to the original Star Spangled Banner, the history of West Point and other important items from American History.

We parked the car and walked up to The Mall and across it to find the American History Museum. We ended up off by one street and not very far from the National Archives so we stopped there first. Inside we were able to view the original Bill of Rights, Constitution, Declaration of Independence and other documents from our nation’s history. Trying to preserve these documents meant that the lighting in the building was kept low and flash photography was not allowed so there were no pictures to post.

After a couple of hours there we went to the American History Museum only to find that it was closed until November 21st for renovation.

Since our plan was shot we decided to hop back on the tour bus and just go from there. We ended up getting off in Georgetown for lunch at Johnny Rockets and then hopped off again to visit the Spy Museum.

We probably walked another 4 to 5 miles in total today, and I can finally say I am starting to feel it.
