We started at the Smithsonian - Museum of American History. Highlights included Abe Lincoln's hat, the red shoes from Wizard of Oz, money over the decades, and an entire house! The National Archives was amazing. I was in awe viewing the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution, but seeing the Magna Carta brought things to a whole other level. The Air and Space Museum was just as fabulous as I remembered. I can't wait to take the boys! I ended on the Holocaust Museum, which I've been looking forward to. As expected, it was incredibly moving. I felt emotionally exhausted as I exited.
I somehow avoided any snow and enjoyed my last bit of walking. I had a lovely dinner and drinks while I reflected on a very busy, information-filled few days. There is a lot of preparation ahead, but this is a life-changing journey that will be well worth the work!
