After the Museum of Natural History, we ventured into the Museum of American History! My goals were to see the First Ladies dresses, the Star Spangled Banner and more! The kids are posing here in front of Edith Roosevelt's gown.
I just loved this sign to the Hall of Presidents! I made Dan pose under it :)
Megan wanted to go in here - it was fascinating!
Me and Jack
Watching Julia Childs - and captivated! Kylie's not putting her hand over her ears - she is twirling her hair while watching :)
They loved it!
Hall of Transportation - Selfie with a train passenger!
Girlies
Kylie wanted a picture of the girls' ringlets

Slightly less serious :)
And hanging out with another one!
We had fun walking through and seeing the Star Spangled Banner that flew over Fort McHenry in Baltimore, seeing the Food section on food in America, the First Ladies gowns, letters from a lady who survived the Holocaust and much more!
Then we headed to REI - since it is on the way home for us :) We joked that between 3 birthdays this next week in our family, none of us purchased anything - but Kylie did! She got new flip flops for the summer!
Then, we knew that Smashburger - one of our favorite restaurants from Kuwait - was now in 3 locations in NoVa - Fairfax, Falls Church and Tysons Corner! We went to the one in Falls Church! Dan and the little kids got burgers and fries and LOVED them! Megan decided to go with a Cobb Salad with mixed greens, tomato, red onion, blue cheese, cheddar, smokehouse bacon, grilled chicken, a fried egg and ranch!
It was HUGE!!!
And she LOVED it!!! It was a hit for her Birthday meal! (Dan, Kylie and Jack all ate some of it - because it was pretty large)! All in all, it was a great day!
