Day 3 – Museums and Rain?

Today I am going to try to blog during the day rather then coming back to the hotel and doing it at night.  I was going to try to do that yesterday, but the weather just would not allow it.  I think that today we are going to focus on museums as we did most of the monuments yesterday.  I do want to go to Union Station just to see it today at some point.  Anyway, check back if you are watching for updates!!

Well we started off by trying to go to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving but it was closed today so we are going to get there tomorrow.  Then we walked over to the National Museum of Natural History and saw several of the exhibits.  But then all the exhaustion hit me like a ton of bricks.  I just couldn’t do anymore so we headed back to the hotel.  Paul and Carlos went to get some food and now we are all just relaxing in the room for a bit.  Not sure if we will get back out again today – most stuff closes early today and it is already 14:00.  Going to try to see about a night tour, but I am betting those don’t happen on Sunday night.

Luckily we were able to get a tour tonight!!  It was really awesome, the only problem was how COLD it was!!!!  All of the monuments we went to were really pretty nice lit all up, especially the Lincoln Memorial.  We got a lot of good pictures, but I don’t have most of them.  The pics with the regular phone wasn’t that great with all the lights, but I will try to post them anyway.  We also got to see Union Station as that was where the tour started and then the tour also went in front of the White House and that was good because we didn’t get to walk over there.

Well, it is very late now and we have had a very long day so I am going to finish up some other stuff and rest my tired bones!  Won’t post pictures until tomorrow, sorry :(
