A visit from "Atlanta Ben"

My friend from Atlanta, Ben, came up to DC for a visit this week.  He was here Sunday thru today and we hung out Tuesday and today. 

After Elizabeth's nap yesterday, I loaded her up into the car and we drove into DC to meet Ben on the National Mall.  We picked Ben up outside the Natural History Museum and then drove over to the Ronald Reagan building to park.

We walked back over to the American History Museum to take a look at one of my favorite museums.  What we didn't know before we got there... the entire west wing of the museum is closed.  Some of my favorite parts of the museum we didn't get to visit and they won't reopen until 2015!!!

At the American History Museum...

I wish I could ride in this!

This engine was super cool.

Plymouth Rock.
(I thought it would be bigger)

After the American History Museum, we walked over to the Museum of Natural History.

Elizabeth and I with the Elephant at the entrance.

Elizabeth liked all the mammals.
 
 
Last night we had pizza and hung out for a good long while. 
 
 
This morning, I snapped this picture of Elizabeth getting Ben to read to her.  How cute!
 
 
Thank you for visiting us Ben!
