Je t'aime, Smithsonian

What to do, what to do..... Imagine it's Sunday and after taking advantage of various outdoor markets, cooling off and reading, and eating lunch you are left with an evening full of possibilities. Finally, it is decided. We shall bike ride to a Museum. A free Museum. A Smithsonian Museum. Ahhh sweet DC. One of many perks to living in the city, specifically, close to the National Mall, is the accessibility of Museums. Feel like learning more about fish and sharks? Visit the new Ocean Hall in Natural History. Need artistic inspiration? Visit the National Gallery of Art. Want to see a giant missile? Visit Air and Space. These jaunts are things I have both envisioned and succeeded in doing. It is a great feeling to have these museums so close by and an even greater feeling not to rush through because you are trying to see 6 museums in 2 days.
