Spent the day at the National Archives. We got to see the original Constitution, Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights, along with numerous other important papers. The exhibits were great... we all learned a lot.
The kids got to do some hands-on research in the Archive's Learning Center, and they loved seeing the report cards of various presidents in the School House to White House exhibit.
Stumbled across a Farmers' Market on the way back to the marina which was a pleasant surprise. A few photos of the day are attached (here); album includes some previously missed shots from Solomons Island, too.
P.S. That tiny person next to the ENORMOUS door is Emily. When we first arrived at the National Archives, we approached the non-public entrance in error. We found the place less than inviting, until we discovered that public access was around the corner!
