Smithsonian Institution



Museums, museums, museums. Apart from all the governmental bodies, Washington houses tons of museums. All of them are free. There is so much to see. After a nice start through the Eastern Market and more crab cakes and grits we headed back to the National Mall to explore the Sculpture Garden, the Natural History Museum with all the kids and families and finally the Hirshhorn Museum for some great Contemporary Art. Visiting museums is a highly tiring activity of course, so we ended up resting and warming ourselves around a nice American meatloaf in one of Washington's popular hangouts, Busboys and Poets. A nice cosy hip place without the attitude.
