D.C. Day 1

Since our room was not ready, Brennan and I decided to hit the streets in search of food and some sight seeing.  We were excited to see a current headline:

 
We got giddy seeing our first monument:

We were hungry, but also sure people in D.C. never eat.  No corner diners on the streets we walked.  There was a McDonalds, but we didn't come all this way to have an Egg McMuffin.  We decided to put off eating when we got to the Museum of American History.

But, guess what?  The Smithsonian feeds tourists!  There was a picture of all the food, but we look like gluttons and it may or may not be Kosher and Rabbi Barb is a "follower" so...

We'll just share a picture of a dessert that Brennan decided he really liked.  Part because it tasted good (kind of like cheesecake) and part because of the name. 

Rum Bum:

After our tummies were so happy we hung out a little in the very place that is the home to Fonzie's leather jacket and so many other important American artifacts.



After our exploring at this part of the Smithsonian was done our room was ready.  We had time to rest for about 2 seconds before we had to get ready for the Kids Speak Up! Welcome Dinner.

We cleaned up well:

But we were very tired:

Very very tired...
Here's Brennan right after we got back to the room after dinner:
