From the National Archives, we wandered over to the American History Museum. This is a pretty easy-to-digest museum, but most of the exhibits and artifacts we wanted to see were off-exhibit or under refurbishment (i.e. Julia Child’s kitchen, Kermit, ruby slippers). We did see the first lady gowns, Old Glory, transportation, and energy exhibits and we were finished by lunch. After our American History Museum visit, we walked over to Penn Quarter for a nice relaxing lunch at Teaism where we ate our bento boxes on the bottom floor near the Koi pond.


We made our way back to the apartment to relax and eat icebox cake before Shannon and BJ met their cab to the airport around 4pm. We had such a nice time having them stay with us (we will see them again soon -- in about a month -- in Washington).
For dinner that night, Carlos, Mom, Dad, and I walked a little way to Bistro Italiano -- a tiny neighborhood Italian restaurant that Carlos and I had heard good things about, but had never tried. We had a tasty, quiet dinner and it was really good -- we will definitely have to come back again. From dinner, Carlos and I walked Mom and Dad back to their hotel and planned what we would do tomorrow for their last full day in DC!
