Brian and I got in on Christmas Day and had a fun day celebrating the day with his family

We went to the Air and Space Museum near Dulles Airport

We spent Sunday walking in downtown Washington DC.  It started with Chris (Brians' brother), Brian and I took the Metro to Washington DC.

First was the National Archives, which houses The Constitution, The Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights.

 Next, it was off to the National Mall and the Capital.

From the Capital, we talked to the United States Botanic Garden.  It was beautiful with lots of plants, trees and flowers, and included a holiday train set.  

Next up, a short walk to the Smithsonian Institution Building (The Castle) which has information about the 18-different Smithsonian museums.  

Across the National Mall from the Castle was the National History Museum
