10/2: American and Natural History - pics

We were planning to cover both the American and Natural history museums today. Spent the first half of the day in the American history building. We managed to view most of the exhibits on the 3 floors and then had some lunch. We then walked over to the natural history building and arrived about 3:30 pm. This was not enough time for even a single floor. We did get to see the famous Hope diamond and gaped at many others. We hurried out the wrong side and walked back to where we thought the trolley bus would pick us up. Landmarks didn't look right, so we walked through the building and just managed to catch the last bus back to our Holiday Inn. It rained hard again today, but most of our time was spent indoors. Dinner for me was Quiznos mac and cheese. Margi had a meat and cheese sandwich.
