Another wet day!! Time to do some museums! We headed back to the Natural History Museum, but first stopped at the House where Lincoln Died, rather uneventful, but this is the room he died in, across from Ford's theatre. I wonder what this house was before he died here?
This building above is the FBI building, the big buildings always impress me over and over. I really like the architecture.
The National Mall in wintertime, by the end of our stay here we should have pictures from every season in Washington D.C. The mall is in desparate need of repair, they say it is from the inauguration, but it was pretty bad before that too. I like how you can only see half of the Washington Monument in this picture below.
The entrance at the Natural History Museum. This is a great museum overall, a lot of fun. We just skipped over the evolution parts. They are hard core darwinists of course and show our oldest relative as some small rodent that was supposedly the oldest animal or something, I really didn't pay that much attention!!
Ooo, the orchids were beautiful though. We learned how orchids differentiate and grow into many different kinds of species for survival. They adapt to best get themselves noticed by the bees for reproduction. They are the most varied flower ever, some of them don't even look like orchids.
Then some of them are so aromatic I had to go back for third and fourth sniffs!

I wanted to measure myself next to the leg of a Giraffe.
This is how Giraffes drink, I thought it was funny looking and awkward. Too bad they aren't graceful creatures!
This picture was taken on our way to F.D.R. island. I needed to get out for a walk and we hadn't been on the island yet. I think the castle on the left is part of Georgetown, could be the college, not sure. Then you can also see the National Cathedral on the right hand side of the picture.
Sunset from our parking garage at our condo. The end of a good day!
