The Adventures of Sock Monkey Season 2 Episode 2: Washington DC, the City of Museums, Monuments, and Classified Information Day 3

   Here I am again with another day of really awesome adventures!! So far, it has been fun, hot and very humid. And (SPOILER) it's still going to be fun, hot, and very humid. No matter. On with the fun!

   We got up at around 8-ish and had another giant breakfast. Might as well take advantage of the buffets while you can. After that, we walked to the International Spy Museum just to check it out. It was a lot bigger than we had planned, because on the map, the museum was really tiny, but the actual building took up an entire block. The museum was really fun and I highly suggest it for anyone who likes those sort of things. The tickets cost a lot ($22.95, I think) but it was super worth it. First, you would get in the elevator with all these super cool lights and it would take you to the third floor. After you get there, you would have 5 minutes (or less depending on whether your elevator arrives first or not) to memorize a cover. Then, you would go into a small amphitheater and watch a short movie on real spies and their motivations nowadays. Then, you would go through the entire third floor before taking stairs back down to the first floor. The special exhibit that is currently displayed now is called Exquisitely Evil and showcases 50 years of James Bond villains. It was super cool. PICTURES!!!

From way far...

..to way close.

The name's Spock. Spock Monkey.

Going undercover starting now. You see nothing...

My kind of ride.

Spy gadgets!

After that, we walked to the Natural History museum. And it is gigantic. Really huge. Kinda hard to describe without (you guessed it) pictures! 

Say aaah!

Rocks and rocks and rocks and...

Eugh.

Platypi!

Hey there, fella! How ya doin'?

No...sudden...movements...

Feel so short now...

Cheeeeeeese!

Gotcha!

Family reunion! ;)

The Hope Diamond.

Pyromorphite and vivianite and calcite, oh my!

Space monkeys!

So yeah. The museum is free and I highly suggest you go! They have exhibits on the oceans, animals, birds, rocks, geology, the Hope Diamond, and all those other fun things! After that, we (my mom and I) decided to take the Lincoln Assassination tour, but we needed food, so we bought two very sad and very expensive hot dogs. A word to the wise: Don't by food from food trucks in Washington DC. Bad things happen. The tour was interesting and very informative. I highly suggest the tour. It's organized by the company DC by Foot. Go check it out! Its cool. Well, that's it for today, any questions, comments, etc, comment board is below! Other than that, thanks for reading!
