Today, we took off at 9, grabbed a light breakfast at Cosi, and then headed to the International Spy Museum.
Jessica was very excited about seeing the spy museum and was telling us all types of James Bond facts along the way. We saw all types of recording devices, mini-cams, radio transmitters, and so on.
One of the most memorable artifacts was a fancy round seal that was given as a gift to a US Official from Soviet school children in the 1970s. Many years later, it was revealed that the gift had a listening device cleverly hidden within.
Then we headed on to the Smithsonian History Museum. We saw the insect zoo, gemstones (including the Hope Diamond), and the animal bones.
For dinner we had McCormick and Schmick. Jessica was thrilled — see her rating system.
Later on in the evening, we visited the Lincoln Memorial and captured some great images.
