We slept in a bit but had learned yesterday that breakfast want really worth rushing. Instead we headed to a few cute places we had seen the days before and settled on a nice crepe place. It filled out bellies nicely for our walk over to the natural history museum. Animals, bones, skins and mummies of all types. We were able to morph our faces into pre-human ancestors and walk through a living butterfly palace. Several of the lepidoptera landing lightly on our limbs and locks. Back across the mall fore a wander through the Smithsonian Castle and of to find some food trucks to fill our now empty stomachs. Few tricks to choose from given the wealth of choices the day before and we had to settle for the lone taco truck left. A burrito in the belly and we were off looking for the next museum. We hit the museum of American history in search of Dorthy's shoes, but sadly they were out for renovation and the heals were so vast and we were unprepared with limited time that we left with out seeing everything but not feeling that much was missed. Plus it was time to eat again and get or gear out of hock!! We moved hotels and had to get to Dulles but left everything at the first hotel. A short but adrenaline pumping drive into Virginia found us bellied up for a round of bacon cheeseburgers and a couple quick games of chess.
