DC Vacation - Day 2

Because the weather was sunny and in the upper 90's, day 2 of our vacation was spent at the Smithsonian Institution. We visited the Air and Space Museum that morning and the Natural History Museum that afternoon.

This picture is of a space suit worn on the Moon by an Apollo 15 astronaut in 1971. This suit was on display at the Air and Space Museum.

This is a picture of the Hope Diamond from the Natural History Museum. The Hope Diamond is a 45.52 carat, deep blue diamond. Tim is just happy this jewel is not for sale.
