The heat

The heat index was going to be about 115 deg today with an actual temp of 102 so we broke down and hopped on the ‘connector’ bus that runs from the marina up to the down town area to see the National Archives. It’s a great building and it holds the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and of course everything else that you could think of.

We spent many hours in there before wandering back out into the heat and over to the natural history museum.
The kids were awed by the dinosaurs, marine life, early humans, the Hope Diamond and so many other exhibits that my mind reels from it all. For their last day it was one filled with our great national treasures and great natural wonders. Just before bed time I asked them to grade their one month trip and got grades from, A- to A+++ so, I think they’ve had a good summer! It’s sad to see them go.
