September 20
This is the second day that we traveled to Washington DC by a rental car. We were amazed that we did not run into any major traffic. Our fist stop was the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. This is one of the most famous museums featuring the Wright Brothers' 1903 Flyer and Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis. This impressive museum displays the largest collection of air and spacecraft in the world. Our next stop was the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian. This is the newest museum of the National Mall in Washington, DC and showcases Native American objects from ancient pre-Columbian civilizations through the 21st century. Unfortunately,
we only had time to visit two of the museums.
