Every year, my family and I go to Washington, DC to view the cherry blossoms, but this year, we went a week early because my mom had to visit her parents in China the week the flowers blossomed.
We spent our time by going to the museums. First, we visited the Air and Space Museum. I hadn't been there in at least five years. There was a pretty cool exhibit on the Wright brothers.
After that, we went to this outdoor 3-D sculpture exhibit. It was super windy, so we went to a nearby building, and it was another art exhibit. They were probably the same thing.
The indoor museum.
Next, I went to the National History Museum with my mom, while my dad rested in the car. There was an orchid exhibit open which never happened during any of the past years I went, so I was really excited and took a ton of pictures. I love flowers so much even though I'm allergic to them. It felt like going to Longwood Gardens.
I loved this one This was a grand prize winner in its category but not the winner overall. |
My favorite tradition is going to the Rocks and Minerals Exhibit every time I visit the National History Museum. I enjoy looking at all the different colors and textures. And this year, I'm pretty sure they added these new watermelon-like rocks (which are my favorite).
They get their own full-sized picture because they are so AWESOME! |
Most of these were new additions. |
