smithsonian…

I promise to put up some Christmas shots by the weekend, but I still have a ton of DC photos, and I’ve only shared a few. These are from the Smithsonian – the Museum of American History, and the Natural History Museum too.  In the American History building, you can see everything from gowns worn by every first lady, Judy Garland’s red slippers, and Julia Child’s kitchen.   In the Natural History Museum, there were butterflies, the Hope Diamond, a crown Napoleon gave to his empress, and Marie Antoinette’s earrings, along with whales, tortoises, and much more.

Hope you’re all enjoying the mini-tour while I finish my Christmas preparations.  It’s a picture heavy post, but most of them are butterflies and baubles.  How do you narrow them down?

Best,
Stephanie

  2. Love the ruby slippers too - but love the butterflies even more! They look similar to some down here in OZ - perhaps they are?

    Happy travels!!
