The National Museum of American History

As we didn't have a lot of time to visit the Smithsonian, we decided we had time for one museum. We chose to visit the National Museum of American History. It was really cool to see all those things that are true American Icons. We also got to see the Original American Flag that inspired the Star Spangled Banner. We couldn't take a picture of it, especially since it was housed in low lighting and it looked thread bare. We saw Kermit the Frog and the best one... Julia Child's Kitchen. My dad didn't understand why were excited about this one. Dorothy's Red Slippers from the Wizard of Oz came next, and I have to say that they weren't as sparkly as they were in the movie. We did the entire museum and we learned quite a bit. I was also really excited to see Lincoln's top hat and coat. I think we definitely chose the right museum to visit.
