More from DC



Our last day in DC was great. After Arlington we got to go to a couple of really fun museums, one of the art museums in DC (we had the only stroller that had been in there for at least a week!) and one of our favorite Smithsonian museums was the air and space museum. The kids loved it, there were a lot of fun activities for them to try out and enjoy learning new things.
There was a paper airplane contest at the air and space museum that Reagan entered. They all folded their airplanes the same way and were given a paper clip as weight to help it fly better. The gal doing the demo had them all try the paperclips on the back first and see how many kids could get their airplane through the hula hoop she was holding. Then they moved it to the nose of the plane and of course that worked better so the contest began. All the kids lined up and if they didn't get it through the hoop they were out. It got down to the last 2 one of which of course was Reagan! She was so very excited, to be in the finals. The boy she was competing with went first and his didn't make it, so it all came down to her throw! And swoosh just like her Mama it went right through the middle of the hoop! Yeah we all cheered and she was thrilled! Fun Day!
