Summer Camping trip--The Smithsonian Museums 華盛頓博物館


We have friends visited D.C. before, so we got many tips about where to visit and were very excited about D.C. It was very hard to find parkings at the D.C., so we took Metro, which was 5 minutes away from our camp site and 30 minutes ride to D.C. Kids were very excited about riding the METRO.

我們有幾位朋友對華盛頓很熟, 所以他們給了我們很多意外可以去那邊玩. 在華盛頓很難找到停車位,所以我們從露營附近坐30分鐘的地下鐵到華盛頓. 小朋友們很興奮坐地鐵.



We packed lots of water bottles, snacks, hats, straw mats (to rest and nap) + tour books with us the 1st day, so our backpacks were very heavy (forget to pack the stroller with us). We walked to the Capital after getting out of the METRO. It was about 30 minutes walk and we've already tired by the time we arrived there. It was very hot and humid at the D.C. and the day before was only 60 degrees at our previous camp site, bit temperature difference. It's the capital in the front and the monument in the back.

第一天去華盛頓時,我們背包裡裝了許多水,點心,草席,書及雜七雜八的東西. 為什麼要帶點心呢? 因為觀光地區點心及水都賣的很貴,所以自己帶去比較划算.可惜我們忘記帶小朋友舊的手拖車,不然會更輕鬆一點. 從下地鐵到國會前大約走了30分鐘的路我們都累垮了. 前幾天露營的地方都還要穿外套,今天這裡是高溫. 坐下來吃點心喝水休息一下. 還是到太空博物館裡去吹次氣吧.



There was already a line waiting to get in before it opens. Kids had fun touching the astronaut outfits and doing other projects.

所有在華盛頓的博物館都是免費的(納稅人每年所繳的稅),可是這裡實在是太多博物館了. 我們只在這裡待3~4天,必須要選擇要先參觀那幾家博物館. 太空博物館是最熱門的幾家,還沒開門前外面就已經有一大長攏在等待進入. 在裡面吹次氣真舒服. 這裡有很多有關於飛機的展覽及實驗. 小朋友們玩的很開心.
