DC Day 4 - Smithsonarific

Ok, so we're past the DC trip. In fact, a week ago, I was writing a post about day 1, and today I'm just exhausted from work, and school. But here were the day 4 highlights:

- Meghan and I have differing views on breakfast & lunch. But one thing is certain, if neither of us eats, we get a little grumpy after a couple hours.
- Of course, when you get up late, lunch comes quicker than you would think, which really solved that problem.
- The Museum of American History, and Arts & Industry were both closed. But we hit up all the others.
- And the Museum of Space & Aviation, though open, should have been closed about 15 years ago. Lets put it this way... one of the star attractions was brought to you by Digital Equipment Corporation. WOW. Now that goes way back. Please send your donations. They need it.
- The Museum of Natural History is great and all... if you're interested in the heretical ideas that they display. Evolution? Wow. Just plain evil. The next time I go to Washington, they best have put up signs at the Smithsonian saying that evolution is but one viewpoint, and that it is not widely regarded as correct.
- Rounding out a Smithso-tastic day, we did the National Portrait Gallery. This was actually very cool. And who knew we had so many former presidents? I swear there were at least 37 of them.
- We went to the Union Grill in Union Station for dinner, and we were the only people sitting outside on a beautiful night. People in DC are weird, that's for sure.
- And then we went to Thunder Grill, also in Union Station, for an after dinner drink. I had an 1800 margarita (or two). Uhm, and we made it home, later. But the details may be a bit hazy... mmm...ritalicious.

  1. If McCain/Palin gets elected, I'm sure all the "evolution" heresy will be banned from the Smithsonian. Evangelical christians do not let something like scientific proof get in their way!
