Day 26: Washington, DC

Off to visit our nation’s capitol. We ventured down the fire road in a forest basically and instantly popped out into civilization---streets and cars whizzing by. We walked about a mile in the hot a humid weather to the Metro Station. The kids learned how to ride a metro. Ethan marked our route on the map to ensure a safe return home trip. Off to the Smithsonians: National Air and Space, Natural Science, and American History. The boys also visited the National Archives to see the Dec of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights(???) Relaxing ride back allowed our feet to rest and propel us to our RV—another mile and half away from the metro stop.
