Day 3 & 4 in D.C.


Saturday, we ventured into China town and went to Madam Tussuad's wax museum. Faith and Gregg humored me and posed by the people so I could have fun taking pictures. My favorite part was going through history and the important people of the different time periods. Then you flowed into the movie stars and reporters. Faith loved the Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana. The last room was the Presidents and First Ladies. You could pose with Obama at the oval office desk. As always, you end up in the gift shop, and Faith is my little shopper. We bought a book of all the different wax museums. I would love to visit the one in London, they have a horror section with live people. After we finished, we strolled across the street to the Spy Museum and ate lunch. The food was horrible! We were next to Ford theatre but didn't check it out. That night we meet Gregg's buddies at Hillstreet Blues in Crystal City and had dinner. It was a fun little place with great food. We sat in the Louie Armstrong booth, one of my favorite songs is by him...."What a wonderful world."


The next day, we met up with some friends to view the Natural Museum of History and the Space Museum. Brad & Camela, and their two sons, Teddy and Jack came from Maryland. Ahmed & Danielle, and their two daughters, Layla and Sabrina came from Pennsylvania. I have been corresponding with these two ladies for the last year online and it was so great to meet them. I felt like we had been friends forever and the kids all got along great. The kids had a great time exploring and playing with all the hands-on exhibits. I think the adults had just as much fun. We saw an IMAX film on Fighter Jets and then finished the evening with dinner at Applebees.
