What do you do when Daddy has to work on a Saturday?

You go to the American History Museum downtown!

The American History Museum re-opened last fall after a complete renovation… and it’s awesome. The Transportation and Technology Exhibit is fantastic for car fanatics, like my son.

There’s also a kid science section that is great and has people doing experiments and explaining them.

This is also the museum which has Dorothy’s Ruby slippers and the original Kermit The Frog, but don’t go down just for that, it’s a little area with about 10 different things and that’s it…

Another Good Point, However: People tend to think parking is a problem on the Mall-

AND it’s NOT! Parking is FREE on the weekends and we pulled into a spot right by the museum…

NO PROBLEM!

Something to watch out for: The salad bar in the cafeteria is expensive…

Pay attention to how much you are heaping in the big salad bowls that are provided because

it will be weighed!

ENJOY!
