Washington DC - third week - Andi

Mar 16 2017
At the World War II Memorial with Chelsea
Today I saw uncle Ryan and Chelsea for the very first time on the trip. We went to Library of Congress. We got a tour. We saw a girl named Minerva. There were two platforms on the sides of her. When you went on the right her feet were pointing at you, and if you went to the left her feet were pointing at you. Then we went to the We The Pizza.  After that we got a tour of the Supreme Court. I liked that one because I got to sit. Then we got another capitol tour. Then we had dinner at Carmines.

Yesterday I went to the field museum. We got tickets for a 3D show about dinosaurs. Then we saw the hope diamond. It was dark blue with 16 white diamonds surrounding it. It also had 46 more white diamonds making it a necklace. We saw a lot of other diamonds. I saw a solid wall of gold. I also found a rock that was magnetic. There were paper clips that would stand straight up. Then we saw bones and the dinosaurs. After that we went to the butterfly pavilion. I got to hold a big grasshopper. I also got to hold a hornworm. It’s actually a caterpillar with a fake horn on the back. It also has fake legs in the back. Then we went home and watched Man of Steel and had ice cream.

  1. The butterfly pavilion sounds really cool! Actually, the whole field museum does. I have never been there. Do you remember how much the hope diamond necklace weighs? I bet it's heavy. Love you!
