Washington DC - Day 5

On Wednesday, we started in the morning at the International Spy Museum. (Téa woke up sick. We feel a little bad, since this is apparently her first time being sick and happened approximately 4 days after we arrived with our day care/school germs.) this museum was really cool. We all assumed secret agent identities and learned all about everything spy (even "rectal tool kit" ... Go ahead and guess what that is on your own). The museum was larger than our aggregate attention span, so we had to run through the James Bond section, which looked really neat. 

After the museum, we had lunch at Pi, a pizza place that originated in Saint Louis. That was fun (and delicious). We then headed to the Museum of American History. We may have hit a limit of some kind on museums, because our afternoon kind of deteriorated. But we did see the highlights: the inaugural gowns, Thomas Jefferson's desk, the ruby slippers, and the star spangled banner. We saw Miss Piggy (though Kermit is apparently on a hiatus). We played a bit on the nation's front yard (it was gorgeous today).

We then wandered past the White House to dinner at Founding Farmers, whose concept we loved. Perhaps our bellies were too full of pizza still, but we were a bit underwhelmed by the execution (though the food itself was clearly very fresh and of extremely high quality, and the apple pie was killer).

When we got back, Rosie had returned! (She got the address mixed up a d came to the neighbors down the street, so that was a bit of a confusion...)
