The Smithsonian

Well, the snow is still on the ground and it is cold outside, so after Christmas we were looking for some in door activities. Mimi and Gator took Lucy, me and Mom to the Museum of Natural History and American History. Boy, were there a lot of people. I guess everyone else had the same idea. In any event, there were a lot of things to see and we all had a great time.





Here I am looking at some of the interesting displays in the section about the ocean. Gator and I are trying to find all the sea creatures that are hidding themselves in this sea weed.


Next we went to see the insects. These were live grasshoppers that were moving all over the display. Creepy!

The part I like best was the trains, trucks and automobiles. Here I am looking at one of the train models with cutouts.







They even had a real steam engine. Wow! Just look how big it is.
I even got to sit in one of the cars. As you can see I had a great time and can't wait to go back and see the rest of the museums. Gator says there are a lot of them. Maybe next time it won't be so crowded.
Well until next time, when I have more pictures of our stay with Mimi and Gator, I hope you are having a great day and a great holiday season; I know I sure am. Love, Thomas and Lucy
