Postal Museum

Today we went into D.C. to check out the Postal Museum.  It is so nice living close and being able to just go to a museum whenever we want.  We can just pick what we want to learn about and then check it out!  Today we decided that the post office would be fun!  There were very few people in there leading me to believe that maybe D.C. is the place to spend spring break!
Addi checking out the stamps!  They had these cool pull out frames with all the stamps in them!  We have been looking for things having to do with Norway as we prepare for her Girl Scout event so we found a norwegian stamp! We even got to make our own "Cinderella" stamp.  That is a stamp that isn't in circulation!  
 Driving a semi...one way the mail moves! 

 This is an old train mail car!  We got to watch a little video...it was pretty neat! 
 Landon hauling some mail! 
 They had post office boxes from around the world! 
 Addi and Landon were espcially  interested in a story about a dog.  One that used to ride the train through the country.  He had tags from all over on his little harness.  They wanted to take a picture next to the replica!  
 Who knew that Amelia Earhart's flight suite was at the postal museum?  So that was a neat find! 
 Looks a bit more like spring!
