DC Trip Part 3
The Mineral & Jem Display at the Natural History Museum
crazy necklaces
Huge diamonds - I think the 10carat round (I am going by memory so that could be wrong) would look quite nice in my current setting :-) and Marie Antoinette's 20 carat earrings would also look lovely!
crown jewels
a bejeweled ring
more crazy necklaces
pearls
more huge rocks
bejeweled butterfly
...and...the Hope Diamond
Just so you know you could lose an eye by being short and trying to see the hope diamond. Those ladies and gents are vicious trying to get their photos. At one point I thought I was going to stand there all day when people would not let me AWAY from the display...then they realized that the display rotated and I was no longer on the "good" side! :-)

DC Trip Part 2
The Monuments and Buildings
Capitol Building
WW2 Monument
Lincoln Memorial and ol' Abe himself
Washington Monument from a few different spots (the 2nd of which I was pretty sure my feet were about to fall off from walking all over the place)
White House from a few different locations
And just for fun I have to post the crazy lady (protesting, possibly homeless) that was being yelled at by another crazy lady (tourist?) for her protest topic of choice. That topic was obviously so important that I have no clue what it was! There were also a couple of folks singing patriotic songs while wearing shirts that looked like they should have been in Myrtle Beach instead of DC but I do hope they were having a good summer vacation! :-)
DC Trip Part 1
The hubby and I went to PA this weekend for his 10 year HS reunion. We flew into Baltimore and took a one day detour to DC with his parents.
The Library of Congress was awesome. They really knew how to build a nice place to store important documents back then (250+ years ago).
intricate painted details all around
even the floors were awesome (Mom this is for you) I tried to get all of the astrological like symbols but the pesky other tourists were getting in the way.
We also saw lots of books, old bibles, rough drafts of the Declaration of Independence and so much more that we couldn't take pics of. All around was an awesome place to visit.
My how they have grown!
