25 May, 2007 (Day 3)
Woke up bright and early today to catch the 630 train in town to Washington D.C. so we can get the earliest ticket to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving.
Though this not my first time visiting, this is the first time I went on a tour. It's always helpful in terms of learning what you are seeing in a tour. Fun and ...shall I say very enRICHing .
After some late breakfast, we swing into the National Aquarium to visit some of my turtle friends because of my love on aquatic habitats.
It is not as big of an aquarium as the New England one (yea this one is in the basement of the Department of Commerce, weird huh), but still plenty to see for an hour or so for the both of us.
Since we had a lot of walking to do, even tho it is pretty pricey to get lunch at the National Mall area, we still had a simple lunch at the Simthonian Hirsonnorn Museum and Sculpture Garden cafe.
That is such a nice Museum, we spent the rest of the afternoon there enjoyed all those art work from the past and present artists. It definitely opened up my creative mind.
Our last stop, the the postal Museum. Both of us were very tired at that point, we spent only about 45 mins there. Not a big museum at all, but very cute I found.
I even got a post card there too!
Before meeting up with ah babe for dinner, we walked around a bit at Georgetown. A pretty nice area for shopping.
