A quick afternoon trip

One of the fun things about living in Northern Virginia is the option to head into DC, bust Dad out of work an hour early and go to the Smithsonian & National Mall. This was a special trip to go see the Sant Ocean Hall at the Museum of Natural History. It was awesome. The giant squid was truly gigantic (but difficult to photograph). Kasper enjoyed the Humbolt squid exhibit - he'd be happy to tell you all about it, he and Dad watched a PBS Nature program on it. The globe was amazing - I included a few photos so you can see how it changes.

Emmett liked walking on the Mall. He likes walking anywhere.

(Please excuse the photo quality - Mama remembered both kids, carrier, snacks, sweatshirts, etc but only brought the camera phone.)
