When I was a kid I wanted to be a paleontologist when I grew up. I just loved dinosaurs, a lot. My parents would take me to the Natural History Museum in LA and I would just stare at the giant fossils.
I never stopped loving dinosaurs, I just grew up I guess. But, I kept visiting museums. And by its reputation, the Smithsonian in Washington DC is the best of the best.
A couple of months ago I finally had a chance to go there. After doing a lot of research I figured I should set aside half a day to go through all the different buildings and saving the Natural History one last.
Walking out of the subway station and seeing all the buildings was great. It was freezing cold (Not California cold, but REAL cold) but my excitement was more powerful than the feeling of freezing.
We visited the Space Museum, which also had a portion of the American History Museum inside due to renovation, which was interesting but had a ton of teenagers on a field trip acting like little d-bags.
After stopping to take pictures of the Capital, we made a bee-line to the Natural History building (We could have cared less about all the art buildings.).
