National Museum of American History

If the Smithonian Institution is "America's Attic" then the National Museum of American History is the really-cool-you'll-never-see-it-all corner of the attic that you just want to try on the old shoes, clothes and masks and play dress-up.

We saw so much and at times got distracted enjoying the sights we just forgot to take pictures. For those we did take, if you really want to see them, they are all on the web albums.

"It's not easy being green" . . . yes that's what you want to sing when you see Kermit.

These are the real Ruby Slippers, a great find for us Wizard of Oz fans!!
