Smithsonian

In addition to the monuments, Grandma & Grandpa Swinton took us to the Smithsonian. There were so many museums to choose from, but for the kids sake we chose the natural history museum. Below are some pictures of some of the things we saw.
First, the hope Diamond
And a selection of precious stones, minerals & crystals.
Walking down the stairs with Grandma & Papa
Mary and the elephant which is right in the entrance
Our favorite part of the museum was a new section in the nature section....the butterfly exhibit!
Fairy wings!
Thanks for taking us around DC Grandma & Papa Swinton--we had a great time!
