Day in D.C. Part 4-Museum of American History






After leaving the Museum of Natural History, we head for the Smithsonian Castle and then the Museum of American History. We had to go see some of the things we had seen in the movie Night at the Museum 2 . We saw the ruby slippers, Oscar the Grouch, and the puffy shirt from Seinfeld.

We also liked the exhibit on all the wars the U.S. has been involved in- I think it was called The Path to Freedom. The girls burst into song in the Star Spangled Banner Exhibit. I think we need to work on the tune but it choked several people up. I didn't know the original still existed. It was very interesting to see but we couldn't take any pictures of it.

  1. The original flag? Or the copy of the song? Or something else?

  2. It is the original flag that inspired the writing of the Star spangled Banner
