Our next stop was the National Museum of Natural History. This is the central Rotunda, encircled by the various exhibit halls.
|
Of course, we spent a lot of time in the Dinosaurs exhibit.
|

|
I was intrigued by this exhibit of a Stegosaurus fossil, showing how the skeleton looked when it was found.
|
And then adjacent to that was the final result of an assembled Stegosaurus skeleton.
|
|
It was also interesting to see this Fossil Lab, where paleontologists actually work at extracting fossils from rocks.
|
We then went to the top of the Washington Monument, and had this great view looking east over the National Mall to the Capitol.
|
 |
 |
|
The view to the south includes the Bureau of Engraving & Printing, the Tidal Basin, the Jefferson Memorial, and the Potomac River.
|
And the view to the north is dominated by the White House.
