On Friday, we started off at the National Portrait Gallery and Smithsonian American Art Museum. We were happy to be indoors, as the weather was just ok....the rain was barely holding out.
Next was a yummy lunch at Capitol City Brewery.
On our walk to the National Museum of Natural History, Ella decided it was nap time.
We spent quite a bit of time in the Sant Aquarium, a newer exhibit at the museum. This tank was a hit...it had both Nemo and Dory fish in it.
Lucy really wanted to show Oma and Opa the "big elephant."
This is the Hope Diamond...just one of the gifts Greg is considering for my 30th birthday. If he goes with it, I told him it would be fine to make it a combined birthday/anniversary gift.
After leaving the museum, we found that the weather had improved, so we headed to the carousel on the National Mall for another ride. This time both girls were brave enough to try an "up and down horse." They had a blast.
Lucy decided she wanted to hold Opa's hand and be his girlfriend.
The only proper way to follow up a ride on the carousel is with ice cream!
Here we are making a mad dash for our subway...we caught it!
Lucy and Ella were really cute on the way home--they were in the best mood! They were playing together and it was very sweet...
It ended up being a clear, beautiful evening, so we decided to finish up with an alfresco dinner. Downtown Silver Spring has a lot of outdoor seating over looking the fountain--Eggspections was the chosen restaurant, which made Lucy very happy!
An after dinner walk lead us to Ben & Jerry's for some (more!) ice cream--the perfect ending to a very fun day!
