American History, Natural History, American Indians

Yes, Day Three we pulled out all the stops and toured three more museums at the Smithsonian.

The American History Museum was very interesting.  My favorite area was the Inaugural Gowns worn by the first Ladies.  Also in the same corridor was the White House China Patterns.  I liked Hillary Clintons best.  It was gold and yellow…very classy.

Because the Presidential elections are on everyone’s mind, I thought you would enjoy seeing the ballot box used in the 1800’s.  It boggles the mind to think where technology has taken us.

The Natural History Museum was pretty typical of many across this great country.  One of my favorite areas was the Butterfly Pavilion…but beware, you get a full body scan as you leave since the butterflies tend to hitchhike out the doors attached to your hair or clothing Smile.

I didn’t get any photos at the American Indian museum but remember this…the cafĂ© there has authentic American Indian food and it is delicious (a bit expensive though).
