Today is Martin Luther King day and we woke up and took the subway down to the National Mall inside DC. Jaren still gets sick on the metro and so we got off a little early and enjoyed a walk. We got to go inside the Union Station Metro and has amazing architecture!

We started to walk towards the Smithsonian museum and they shut down Pennsylvania Avenue for the Presidential motorcade. Callie got pictures too!

Obama stopped and we fist bumped and then we walked to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. It was very neat and Jaren thought the Dinosaur exhibits were the most interesting!



After the Museum of Natural History we made our way to the less interesting but okay museum of American History. Some highlights were:
DUMBO!!

AWESOME LEAF BUG!
THE HOPE DIAMOND!
SMITHSONIAN CASTLE

After we took these pictures we went to the National Archives to see the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights! It was cool to see all of the things that I had to learn about in History class..... It was a super fun day!
