Some of Washington's sites







We really enjoyed the Capitol Building. Some of the hallways we walked had painted ceilings and walls depicting historical events and wise quotes.
Since we spent a bit of time at the Natural History Museum, animals were the theme of the afternoon. The giant elephant was still guarding the museum lobby. From there we found the mammal exhibit with extensive displays of formerly live animals, in daily situations for them. But I have to admit loving the butterfly room where quite an assortment of butterflies were free to fly around, including on your head!

The metro was so convenient to get anywhere we wanted to. And it seems they give excellent advice on the subway trains as well! Right around the corner, we found the Democrat Club, complete with a blue donkey. How perfect.
