Washington DC Day 4

Sunday morning we woke up and had a yummy omlet for breakfast. Afterwords, we watched an interview with Chris Wallace and Glenn Beck. I really admire Glenn. I think he's a very genuine person. What you see is what you get. He's very open and honest. He doesn't try to "Decorate" himself like other well known people.
Other highlights from Sunday. We got to tour Ford Theater and the house across the street where Lincoln died. We went to the National Archives Building and saw the constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence. We went to the Museum of Natural History and saw the hope diamond, a lot of bones, mummies, cavemen, etc. We took the metro to Union Station and had dinner at Rocket Burgers. After dinner we did a night tour. All of the monuments were beautiful at night. Following the tour, our guide (Bill) gave us a ride to our hotel.

We weren't allowed to take pictures inside the national archives. This is a post card of one of the murals near the constitution, bill of rights, and the declaration of independance.
