Perhaps I should keep this information to myself...but we discovered that three days before Christmas is an excellent time to visit the Smithsonian Museums. The kids and I went to the American History Museum to see the red slippers from Wizard of Oz, the Muppets puppets, the Abraham Lincoln exhibit and the First Ladies exhibit; but I told the kids it all depended on us finding a good parking spot. When we arrived, we had our choice of many, many parking spots right out front. Yes! So we saw all the things we wanted to see and had a lovely time. Except for Will. He would not say he had a lovely time. He did fine...until we got to the First Ladies exhibit. He took one look inside, saw all the dresses, and declared, "I am NOT going in there." He did, but he didn't much like it.
