Best. Day. Ever.

So I stole that expression from my daughter. But today was just so awesome!

Mike took the day off and we went down to DC for the day.

We went to see a 747 carrying a Space Shuttle fly over DC.

It will be in the Air and Space Museum soon.

Then to our favorite - Natural History Museum

(Magnetic) Lodestone

Gift Shop Purchases =

Whistle for Gerry

Stuffed Snake for Marisol

(Blue Purple Jaguar - or was it Purple Blue Jaguar?)

Marisol took the world's shortest nap - must have been about 5 minutes!

Gerry got his snooze on Mom.

Duck Bottoms!

Mama Duck and Babies

Goslings too!

Lots of construction down on the Mall

We flew kites for about 5 minutes until they both broke-

We don't recommend $5 kites!

Picnic in front of the White House

Exhausted kids on Metro-
