7 April 2022 Washington DC American History Museum

 


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



It was a bit cold and rainy
