I spent a large part of the day in just one of the Smithsonian museums. I chose this way because I wanted to see one thing properly (I’ll come see the others another time) I chose the Museum of American Life!
If you ever get the opportunity, this place is just wonderful. It has everything from the Flag draped over the Pentagon following the 9/11 attack, to the first car to drive across America.
Also here is the “Star Spangled Banner”. Hearing the story of this flag, and understanding it’s deep symbolic significance to a proud and great nation made the whole visit worthwhile :)
I took 4 photos - I should have taken 400!
