Smithsonian Institution aka: The Smithsonian

Remember the Smithsonian Institution is a collection of many different museums…go to your favorite ones first, but try to see them all. The best food is at the American Indian Museum!

Such an amazing museum. I could spend forever in there!

ever since i was 5 my favorite exhibit was the first ladies’ dresses, i don’t know why. i’m still very nostalgic.

Was nice.

The whole Smithsonian experience is an incredible educational exersice. Take your time, pace yourself and do some research before you go, i.e. if you going to the Aeronautics museum, plan the whole day there and read up on air & space. Do the same for the other museums.
A week in DC should do it … go to M street to wind down at night :-)

Simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

This is a terrific place if you can make it from the parking lot – that is, if you can even FIND the parking lot.
We saw the Spirit of St Louis hanging from a ceiling, fabulous oil paintings and we just cracked the surface. I’ve never met more rude people anywhere than in D.C. but that’s a different story. When leaving, a guy got so close to our car that his car touched my husband’s ELBOW !!
I asked a lady where we could find something and she goes, “do I look like I know everything?” Pretty comical, actually!
It is a Wonderful , enormous place and I highly recommend it.

very cool place.. Nice vibes. Great planes and artifacts. Definately worth checking out.. Esp as it seems to rain alot in Washington..

If you want to visit the Smithsonian, plan on doing so over the course of at least three days. Each museum is so full of information, and there are so many museums, you’ll be lost in one for hours. As it is, I’ve only been to four, I think: Air and Space, Natural History, American History, and Native American. I want to see everyone. So far, the best museum has been Native American, and I didn’t have enough time in it.

It was so cool! The dinosaurs, the planes, the rare stones, the Americana…. I saw Archie Bunker’s chair! OK, if you don’t know who Archie Bunker was, I don’t want to know….. LOL It was quite memorable for a small town 16 yr old girl from Kansas, and NO, I’m not saying how long ago that was!! LOL
