My Long Day

I woke up around 8:30 in the morning and had a great breakfast.
Today I used the Washington Metro for the first time. That was cool!
Then I went to the National Museum of Air and Space. Here are some pictures there. The part that interested me the most was the WWII section.



Me with a Spitfire Fighter

Soviet ICBM

Next we went to the Museum of Natural History. That was sweet! We saw dinosaur skeletons that were really interesting. Again, here are more photos.



T Rex



Mammoth

Back home for lunch and then off again to the Vietnam War Memorial. That was interesting. We went across the Mall and saw the Korean War memorial. This is made of a lot of status of soldiers.

We went out to dinner at Taj of India in Georgetown. The food there was really good and the waiters were great! I had curried chicken and drank masala tea.We got home at 7:30. Wickedly long day!
