Last Day!

Our last day in DC was a great day. We slept in a little bit, ate up our bagels and oatmeal, and checked out of the hotel. We headed over to the Smithsonian Art Museums and wandered through the two buildings. I got to see the Matisse cut outs, which I love. It was fun to see the paintings, but we aren't huge art buffs, so it wasn't all that interesting! I'm glad that we walked through, but I'm really glad we didn't spend all day there!After we had our fix of art, we headed over the Old Post Office for lunch. We got some okay food at the food court, then met up with Jonathan and Kelly. They have a tower that you can go up into, so we headed up. It is a breathtaking view, but they have wires that prevent you from getting great pictures. Here was our best effort:

We then headed over to the Air and Space Museum, which was very cool. We spent a lot of time at a display featuring different pictures of Earth from Space. The building is also currently housing some pieces from the American History Museum, which is under construction. We got to see Kermit the Frog, Abe Lincoln's Hat, and lots of other cool stuff. That was perhaps the highlight of the day. Jonathan and Kelly had to take off and we had to think about heading to the airport. Here are some of our last Capital pictures:

We went back to the hotel to pick up our luggage and headed out to the metro. We arrived at the airport, went through security - which was cool. I went in the new machine that blows air at you. Mike says it check the air for chemicals and stuff. It was an interesting experience. We then had some average airport food, boarded our flight, and home we came!

My mom picked us up and got us to our car. We drove home and attempted to unpack. It is great to be home and we had a great trip. Thanks for following our adventures. Hopefully there will be more traveling soon!
