Washington DC is in bloom and it is beautiful everywhere we go. The flowers and trees are popping with color. Today we got right into it at the National American History Museum. We walk right past the long lines at the Natural History Museum and right into the American History Museum. There were lots of different themes that the museum curators followed in the Museum. There was a section devoted to the First Ladies, a section on transportation, a section on campaign "give aways" and much more

Flowers everywhere
The Seal
A cast of Abe Lincoln's hands
Beer always makes me think of Presidential politics
President McLane
The First Ladies
Oy those oysters
Hillary Clinton's inaugural gown
Some musical instruments of note
The ruby slippers are not so shiny anymore
I agree
Taft swag
Modern politics
Tiny screens all showing political ads
The actual lunch counter
From the great North West

Odd signs
Cool old cars
