Day in DC

Today after dropping Clay's parents off at the airport I decided to spend the day in DC since we were already down there.

First stop was at the Jim Henson exhibit at one of the museums. Clayton loved seeing all the puppets and even put on his own puppet show. I don't have any pictures of that though since cameras were not allowed.

Next stop was lunch with my wonderful friend Rebekah. After lunch she took us on a tour of the Heritage Foundation where she works.

After our tour with Rebekah, we headed to the Natural History Museum. Normally when I go to this museum I only see the jewelry exhibit (like the Hope Diamond) but today I got to see exhibits I never have before like the Dinosaur and Insect exhibit. I guess that is to be expected with two boys! The boys loved it and I want to take them back when I have more time. After Clayton saw the dinosaurs, every skeleton he saw the rest of the day was a dinosaur (like the ape, turtle, whale skeletons, etc...)

Clayton spotted an alligator and had to tell this stranger all about it.

The boys with Rebekah. Clayton had to hold her hand while I pushed him in the stroller. They absolutely love her. She is wonderful so it is easy to see why they adore her.

The boys in the broadcasting room with at the Heritage Foundation. People like Sean Hannity will broadcast from this room. Clayton was singing his ABCs into the microphone.

Here is Clayton in the television broadcasting room. If you ever see anyone being interviewed on TV from the Heritage Foundation, this is where they sit.
