Day 4 – Washington DC

Well this morning we slept in a bit so we got a late start.  After breakfast at the hotel, we headed out to the Smithsonian American History Museum. 

Let me start by telling you that all the Smithsonian Museum are free to the pubic. “Free” being the operative word.  If you live in the good old U.S. of A. we doubt that free is the right term.  We had lunch at the “free” museum.  John had a pulled pork sandwich, potato salad and coffee.  I had a hot dog, water and pumpkin custard.  That’s it, that’s all we had and it was $28.00 so I question whether or not it was free.

However, we had a great time.  Here’s a few pictures from today.

Let’s start with something form home.

An original Dumbo from the original Dumbo ride at Disneyland.  I bet i rode in it, way back when.

Next, Julia Child’s kitchen.

How about Dorothy’s Ruby Red Slippers from Wizard of Oz?

Mohammed Ali’s boxing gloves.

Can’t get more American than “Kermit the Frog”

How about Archie Bunker’s chair.

I have no idea why this is in the Smithsonian but “hey” it’s my name.

And last but not least for today, I’ll finish where I started with Disney.  Does any one else remember Lonnie?

We had a great time, tomorrow we’re bound and determined to get to the Air and Space museum. 

See you tomorrow,

John and Robin
