Last day in DC

It was getting harder to go out and explore the city by our last day due to the 95+ temperatures. To properly see everything in DC,  I recommend a minimum of 5 days, and hopefully when it's not so hot!

For our last day we went to the Museum of American history. Lots of cool items on display including the original flag that flew over Fort McHenry during the war of 1812 and was the inspiration for our national anthem. My favorite was the display of Julia Childs original kitchen.

There were lots of other interesting exhibits as we were there almost the entire day. We only left as we realized that the Hope diamond wasn't at this museum but at the museum of Natural history.  Fortunately that museum was next door so we rushed over before it closed.
