Washington DC -Day 3

Museum of American History


Today we walked through the National Mall (Smithsonian's). We visited the Museum of American History which took up all day. We saw Julia Child's kitchen to trains and the ORIGINAL star-spangled banner. We were only allowed to take pictures in certain areas. The rooms had barely any lights because the clothing (linens/threads) would fall apart and the important documents would fade away.

We also saw the Bill of Rights, Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and the Magna Carta. When looking at the Declaration I realized that they spelled "Pennsylvania" wrong and 3 of the original 13 colonies didn't even sign the document. The Magna Carta was cool to see after learning so many details about it in History class! Today we walked everywhere and learned lots. All in all today was a good day.





Steps walked today: 8294
