One must not take photos in the National Archives, so there are no photos of the national treasures. But we saw the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Magna Carta. We explored a few exhibits that were very interesting. One was about how the documents are preserved and protected.
The kids came up with a set of rules for how to behave in the heavily guarded and fortified exhibit hall that housed the important documents and national treasures. The first rule of the politics room was that you were not to discuss politics in the politics room. You also had to make sure not to get too mixed up with the school groups that were marching through to glimpse the documents.
My friend Jala met up with us and walked through the National Archives with us, and put up with all the kids' crazy politics room rules. And when we were done in the Archives, we headed to a pub kinda place for dinner.
Lex ordered a steak and poured and entire bottle of A-1 sauce on it because he had already eaten wings at every other meal during our DC trip. Connor ordered wings, because Lex didn't.
And it turns out that my friend Jala and I have excellent taste in purses.
