Smithsonians

We went to a few Smithsonian Museums too. They have quite a few, and all are pretty cool.

The National History Museum has been updated quite a bit since I was last there.

There were some sweet fossils.

And an awesome giant squid. Obviously, Emery didn't care for this one.

Not to mention a big whale. Is there any other kind?

But some things don't ever change. This guy has been here for over 25 years. I have a picture of him from my 8th grade trip.

Emz was also very impressed with all the bling in the museum. The Hope Diamond really got her attention. Poor her future husband...

Did I mention that Emery liked all the jewelry? We've got way too many pictures of her and jewelry!
