This previous Friday me and my entire 6th grade peers took a trip to Washington D.C. It was really rainy, but we still had a good time. We were able to choose between three different museums to go to. One was the Natural History Museum (Smithsonian), another was the Air and Space National Museum (Smithsonian), and the last was The National Museum of American History (Smithsonian.) I attended the Natural History museum, and I think you should too. The world’s most famous or fulfilled natural history museum is dedicated to interpretation the natural world and our place or living in it. Delve into the magnificent story of our planet, from its flaming beginnings through billions of years of conversion, and explore life on Earth through exhibits and fun/historic activities, collection objects and research that happens in the lab and in the field. The museum is larger than 18 football fields and is home to the largest natural history collection in the world. I know right! this museum is filled with greatness of history and understanding of the world today, and years ago. I mean I wouldn’t want to play football in the place, I think a bit to big. This is why you should visit this museum.
Be smart and go to this museum, It has a live butterfly exhibit, a cafe, and I SAW A T-REX skeleton, could it get any better than that? I mean space is cool and all, but there’s a whole room full of diamond. I’m just saying, pick this museum you won’t regret it.
Not only did we get the chance to see the different museums we were able to see different monuments as well. I think that the WWll memorial is the best to go to. In 1993, the president at the time president clinton, signed a form making regards to get a memorial in D.C. for WWll. It has plaques for every state in the U.S. I took a photo in front of different states that represented me. There is also a large water fountain in the middle of the entire memorial. This memorial glorifies the people who fought. Friedrich St. Florian winning’s design and skill evens out the classical and modernist styles of architecture, harmonizes with its natural and cultural surroundings, and brings together the legacy of the American Revolution and the American Civil War. This is why you should visit this memorial.
As you can see D.C. I full of magnificent sights, but just know that the places I gave you are the best of the best. This is why you should visit these places in Washington D.C.
