The Smithsonian & the area around the White House

Our next stop was one of the 19 Smithsonian museums.



Inside this museum where many items from U.S. History. We also had lunch here.
Deb Kinikini poses with the inauguration photo of President Obama & VP Joseph Biden.
Most of the girls considered the display of the First Ladies Inauguration gowns a highlight of this museum visit.
First Lady Campaign Buttons through the years

Christopher Columbus
A flag in metallic tiles
This is the flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the Star Spangled Banner. You can see the patches used to keep it together.
After the Smithsonian we went to the White House.

This townhouse is the house that Presidents through the years would stay in when the White House was being repaired.
The park on this side of the White House has many statues, among them this one of Andrew Jackson.
