Nathan passed along some free tickets to the Newseum in Washington DC that had to be used before the new year. We had fun seeing the Calvin and Hobbes comics, playing on the computers, seeing the FBI exhibit, and the front pages of many cool things in history (like the announcement of Joseph Smith's martyrdom). Hannah was super uncooperative and a pain in everyone's side. We found a rooftop area for her to scream and eat snacks, which helped a little.
Tommy got a kid video camera from his grandma for his birthday. He was hilarious. We'd be walking on the sidewalk, turn around to count heads, and see him videoing everything! His batteries finally wore out, but he sure loved it!
Afterwards, we walked over to the Natural History Museum to see the dinosaurs. Well, I have never seen the Smithsonians sooooo crowded!! Bummer news too, we found out the dinosaur exhibit was being redone and under construction, but saw a T-Rex and Triceratops upstairs. Hannah loved the animals, but she eventually crashed...in our arms!
We stopped off at Cafe Rio in Annapolis on the way home. Yum! Yum!! A fun day during Christmas break, but wish Nathan was around to join us.

We went to the National Mall during Christmas break one year--and it was insane. We couldn't handle it, not with us and three kids. Too many people. Maybe someday we'll go another time.
