D.C./Maryland trip...part 2

 They had a "Roads and Rails" museum in Fredrick that I took Nathan to. In the front they had a Lego train display that one of the men there made, Nathan was in awe.

 Then we went into the "museum". It was a gigantic train set-up. It took 5 men 4 years to make it all. It was very impressive. Nate loved it.

 Anderson loved pushing the buttons, and there were lots of buttons to push!

 After we finished pushing all the buttons, I asked the guy where the "road" part of the museum was, and he told me that it was coming in 2013 or 2014.

 Smithsonian Natural History Museum

We had a great time at the NHM. Nathan and David loved it. There was so much for both of them to see and enjoy.

 I think this part was Nathan's favorite. There was a big earth in the middle of this room and Nathan thought it was awesome. They played a movie on it and during it Nate asked "are we in space"?

It isn't a good picture but it captures all three of them watching the earth video

 They were having a huge book fair the next day, and Nathan got to take his picture with this Daniel Tiger cut out. (Daniel Tiger is a modern Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, it takes place in the land of make believe. It is a cute show).

After we got out of the museum we were going to go pick up our friend Steven from work and go to the Washington Nationals game. When we got to where we parked the car, it wasn't there. Crap.  Wait, what's that over there, our car. Hmmm, we didn't park over there.

They towed our car...to the other side of the street. We got two tickets, one for being parked after 4pm and the other for the towing...$100.00 each.

We got lost with our phone GPS because we kept losing signal. We went to the wrong place. We drove past the Pentagon 5 times. 

We ended up meeting Steven, Samantha and little Steven at the stadium.

Nationals stadium is HUGE, and it was packed. We had a fun time at the game. After, we headed back to the Hampl's to stay the night before another long day in the morning.

Thanks Hampl family, it was so great to see you!
