cool flag banner outside the star spangled banner

Day two in D.C it rained all day which was kinda of a bummer. So we decided to hit up some museums. We went to the Natural History museum and saw some dinosaurs. The American history museum and saw the first lady dresses and pop culture artifacts like Dorothy's ruby slippers from the Wizard of Oz. Also in the American History museum we saw the star spangle banner. We then headed over to the Artifacts museum which is where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are located. Fun fact is that they are going to be taking these items off of display pretty soon cause they are deteriorating so I'm glad we got to see them well they are still available to look at. We then braved the weather and jumped on a hop on hop off bus that took us to the Thomas Jefferson monument. It was so cool cause its a little further away then the other monuments but got pictures of the Washington monument with all the autumn colors.
