National Building Museum

We decided to take the boys to the National Building Museum in D.C. during the long Memorial Day weekend.  There was a lot of research prior to making the decision to go after the issues that we encountered taking them to see the Cherry Blossoms. We opted to drive in and park at a spot reserved through Parking Panda and confirmed that the Museum had a cafe.   

The building was absolutely beautiful on the exterior and the interior.

While we secured a time and band for the Work, Play and Build Zone, the boys checked out the building model display and provided a very imaginative description of what the people were doing. 

We toured the exhibits and were definitely intrigued by the hot to cold exhibit.  After touring the exhibits, we moved on to the Building Zone for a lot of fun.

There was an amazing feature that you could move your body in front of a projector and it would project onto a screen and all of your movements would follow you on the screen.  it was a lot of fun for the adults and the boys.

The steps and the arches in the building were amazing.  It was such a beautiful building.

We ended our visit in the Work, Play and Build Zone during our designated time.   The boys had a great time.  Connor spent a good amount of time playing with this group of community helpers.  Towson Presbyterian did a good job discussing the helpers role in our community.  It was a great way to end a fun day at the Building Museum.
