Going to D.C.
Do museums interest you? Are you looking to take a trip soon? If so why don’t you take one to our nations capital Washington D.C and have fun while you are learning. There is the Smithsonian which has something for everyone to enjoy and learn from.
The Smithsonian is an amazing museum that is not just one, but many different museums that seem to have everything from aviation information and history to even dinosaur bones and obviously your classic paintings as well. The Museum of Natural History has many of the most fascinating exhibits and especially educational exhibits. There are exhibits for the natural world such as animals and insects and humans. There are exhibits that give visitors a, glimpse into ancient Egypt and the dinosaur age. And if you are someone that is into artifacts of American history then you need to check out that museum as well.
There is so much history in the halls of the museum that it is almost overwhelming. The art museum is a tribute to American artists as well as some of the best in the world, but for my money, and you should know that admission to the entire list of museums is free; the aviation and space museum is the best. They have exhibits that chronicle man’s foray into the great blue yonder of the skies and even into space.
One of the amazing things is that there are planes from every part of flight, from the Spirit of St. Louis to Apollo capsules, every era is represented. As a child I wondered around in awe and silence as I looked in every corner of the museum and read every placard I could find. I spent more time in that museum than in all of the others combined. Not only is our nation’s capital a worthy destination just for the museums, there are plenty of other things to see and do. Form pro sporting events, to site seeing tours, the mix of history and education can’t be beat.
While tours of the White House and Capital buildings have been scaled back in recent years, there are still plenty of historical sites and destinations. Just the monuments are worth the trip. There is nothing more awe inspiring than standing in the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials. They showcase the importance and brilliance of some of the most influential people in not only US history, but world history. Take a ride to the top of the Washington monument and you will get one of the best views of the capital that is available. It is a perfect post card moment.
