Smithsonian Saturday

The other weekend I spent time exploring a few of the Smithsonian Museums with friends who were visiting town from Ohio!  The favorite of the group was the American History Museum, where we saw many cool exhibits.

The favorite of the group was the Julia Child kitchen, which was an exact replica of what she had in her home!  What a great way to see history with our own eyes, with the exact replica of what she used.  We also explored the history of food in America exhibit, as well as transportation that has changed!  We made a pitstop in to see the exhibit that shows different decades and the various changes in pop culture and politics throughout time!

My favorite exhibit is the area with the history of the first ladies and the presidents who have served our nation.  In this exhibit, you can explore the China Set selected by each first lady, their gown worn to the inauguration, and sometimes their fancy jewelry.  The history of the presidents goes through what occurred while they were in office, and a background for their presidency.
