Day 2: Hanging Out At The Mall

The only Mall worth capitalizing.

*Allowing time for the pun to sink in*

The day started with a wonderful breakfast with my extended Ulmer family. I got to see where the girls attend school and then Aunt Jean dropped me off at the Smithsonian castle!
I got a sneak preview of promotions for the Ben Stiller movie 'Night at the Museum'. I intended to discover what the 'Contributing Membership Reception Center' consisted of and the extent of any other benefits as such.
In the tulip building, I was told, three levels down you'll find it. and did I. Splenderous photos of this elusive place are currently on my Facebook page.

I was also excited to discover that a new Smithsonian was open, devoted to the Native Americans! I had a quirky encounter with a visitor from Israel with whom I shared lunch in the food court of said museum. That is the extent of what I saw of it as it was time for my afternoon to draw to a close. We did manage to get a picture in front of the Capitol before parting ways.

I packed so much into today, but tomorrow fast approaches and as it is an International leg, I'd best get some shut-eye.

Thanks for following along with me!
