Henry and I (Mom)
flew to Reagan Airport on Friday, July 27. It was Henry's second plane trip - the first
one was to here 2 years ago. He likes
planes (as any little boy should) and likes airports too. He is quite the nice traveling companion. :)
Mom's friend Michele, along with her son Christian, picked
us up and off we went to explore DC. We
had flown over DC on our way to the airport and saw that the Washington
Monument was being repaired - apparently, it has been closed for 2 years due to
an earthquake and structural issues. So,
we parked close to it which took a while with the parking situation there. I was glad Michele drove the entire trip -
not only because she knows all the roads, but because she is accustomed to the
aggressiveness of not just the other drivers, but the pedestrians who regularly
put their lives on the line while crossing the streets.
Our first stop was the Smithsonian Museum, which is
excellent and like most museums in the area, is free. It has such a great dinosaur exhibit which
little boys like. :) We also saw lots of
bugs, an African exhibit, lots of rocks, and even the Hope Diamond.
