The National Mall, not the shopping mall :)
I had the opportunity to spend Saturday at the Mall; it was a blast! There's something about exploring the Smithsonian by yourself on a Saturday that's just a thrill. I spent most of my alone time at the Natural History Museum and the American History Museum (like that's a surprise). After lunch Sara went with me up to the Capitol Building. We didn't have time to go inside, but just walking around the outside was magnificent. We went into the American Indian Museum as well, but maybe because I've lived near a reservation most of my life, I wasn't all that impressed.
The American History Museum was my favorite, of course! As a future museum student fascinated by the logistics of exhibits and my new-found perspective on how they are made, it was really fun to explore these national treasures. And of course, it wouldn't be a complete trip to Capitol Hill without looking like a wet dog!
