Today could have been called "hopping on and off a bus day " - because that's what we did for the day. An early start (6:55am) from Cherry Hill on a shuttle bus got us to Union Station before 8:00, thereafter the day was spent on (or waiting for) one of those open-topped double decker tour buses, or in a museum or later in the day standing in front of the Whitehouse. Since this is not our first visit to DC we missed some of the big name draws like the Air and Space Museum. We spent a good deal of time at the Ford Theater Museum (which had a very good display on Lincoln's presidency) and across the road at Peterson's House (where Lincoln died) redecorated in period furnishings. The American History Museum was a bit of a disappointment. Good displays on the transportation and the presidents and their first ladies but also some rambling displays that were hard to see the point of.
