Again, even though we knew the girls wouldn't care for it, we took an afternoon trip down to the Capital to teach the girls a little about history and politics.
Trung took a few architectural pictures on his way to the museum to meet us after moving the car a few blocks away. The car was initially parked a few feet into a metro zone just a block from the museum, but we didn't want to take the chance and get a ticket.
This rose makes me think of Romeo and Juliet
The girls and I checked out the mammal section while we waited for Trung to arrive
The towering T-rex
Kissy kissy
I took goofy pictures of the girls because apparently the Smithsonian National Museum on Natural History wasn't interesting enough for them.
For my next gift, the Hope Diamond will do just fine.
The world's largest crystal ball
Out of habit, I told the girls to stop touching the gemstone, but Lydia pointed out a sign that read "please touch". Touche, Lydia, touch away!
The girls didn't care for the animals, but loved looking at all the gems; they truly are my daughters. :P

The closest we'll probably ever get to the President
We went to Trung's cousin Amy's house in Virginia for hot pot. Lydia and Sophie loved Amy's dog, Turbo; Amy said he hadn't got that much love in years!
I've never eaten hot pot while standing up before, but it was fun and I'd like to think that I was burning off everything that I was eating.
