My Trip To The National Archives, And The National Museum Of American History!

Today, I went to the National Archives and the National Museum of American History in Washington DC. We got there by taking the Metro after a drive to the metro. After that, we headed to the Archives. I got to see lots of documents, some are the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and The Constitution! We even saw the Manga Carta! After we left the Archives, we went to lunch. We had McDonald's. It was small and it was also behind the Air and Space Museum. Then we headed to the American History Museum. When we went into the building we saw lots of hallways and floors. We started with the history of presidents we saw the dresses that their wife's wore to the party to become president.And they even had  Michele Obama's dress! Then we went to the American flag and learned what it looked like and who thought of it. After that we learned more about history, we learned about this house the was taken apart carefully then shipped to the museum and rebuilt there. There was a dining room, a kitchen, a parlor, a upstairs and even an attic. There were even cars and half of an old bus and even a train you can go in and pretend you are going somewhere. They even had sound effects! there In the back seat of a car was a dinosaur figure just sitting there. They had all kinds of things from nails to figures dressed like real people and like 3 gift shops. I got a mug with my name on it and a magnet with the red ruby slippers on it. I did not see the red ruby slippers because they were redoing a section, but they will be back on April 5th. After we saw almost everything, they started to close the museum so we hurried into the gift shop bought our things. We went to the metro and then drove home. I really had fun with my family today. I hope we will we able to go to see it again!
