We started our day at the Holocaust Museum. All of us were blown away at the depth of the exhibits. We were expecting an hour and a half quick walk thru, but ended up staying there three hours. I'm not sure that the boys captured the enormity of it, but they stayed engaged the whole time we were there. Both were excited to grab some trinkets at the gift shop to show their friends.
The message the Museum was presenting was that ordinary people stood by and let the Holocaust happen; if that were to happen again, what would you do?
On our way to the Museum of American History, we had lunch in the basement of the Ronald Reagan building. We had fun exploring the busy streets of DC.
The Museum of American History was a letdown for all of us, hence no photos. The exhibit of the original Old Glory flag was impressive, but the other exhibits were all meh.
We had promised to GP since Day 1 that we would eat at an Italian restaurant. He ate an entire 6-pound order of fettuccine alfredo, which was no surprise. CP ate a seafood pasta plate that included artichoke hearts and asparagus. He has turned into a real gastronome.
