Downtown-Trek-of-The-Week (times two)

Last week we made two treks into downtown.  On Friday night, we picked Steve up from work, had dinner at a restaurant inside Union Station, and then headed over to the Jefferson Monument.  It was a beautiful night for walking around the Tidal Basin.  I forgot my camera, so no pictures.  ):

On Saturday, we headed back in on the metro and did a second round at the American History Museum.  One nice thing about free museums is that you can go more than once and see things at your own pace!  This time around, we hit the second and third floors and saw just about everything we wanted to see.  (I, however, did not get to see the First Ladies exhibit because Cranky Pants #1 and Cranky Pants #2 were needing to get home for naps and somehow I didn't think the rest of my crew cared too much about fancy dresses.  Oh well.).
