Washington DC Day 4

Samantha discovered bagels on our trip! They are a perfect treat since they are dense enough that she can not bite to much off and she can hold them well. 
Arlington Cemetery was our first stop and we made it just in time to see the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier. The kids were so good. 

The boys were intrigued by the eternal flame at JFK's grave. 
We then spent the rest of the day at the Natural History Museum except for the time we left for lunch up by the Capital building. 
The museum closed down their huge dinosaur display for the next 5 (yes FIVE) years while they do renovations in October. They had a smaller new display that opened that day we were there. It was fun to see. 

We saw the tarantula feeding and Arabella was brave enough to hold the madagascar hissing cockroach. She is move brave than me. 

This was Joseph's favorite stone in the Gem section. 
We also went in the butterfly house- so cool! I want to plant a butterfly garden now. 
The capital building dome is being repaired or updated or something and had an impressive amount of scaffolding on it. 
I love you Jon!
Oh no kids, swim away!
We enjoyed some great evening meals at the hotel for a few nights we were there. The kids played on this shuffleboard game and loved it. Jon was quite good at it. 
Oh my smiley baby Bubbles!
