Washington DC Day 5

Well by the time Day 5 rolled around I think we were all a little ready to head home. We took our time getting moving that morning b/c it was cold and we had seen mostly all that we wanted. We took the Subway down to the Smithsonians though b/c that was our main goal of the day. We saw the line for the Natural History one and quickly decided on American History. We got in pretty quickly. We were able to do the highlights and get out of there by the time it was getting crowded! the kids really enjoyed the transportation exhibits. We spent a lot of time in there. After that we quickly headed upstairs to see The Star Spangled Banner exhibit and then to the 3rd floor to see the Presidential and First Lady stuff. That was all we did in the museum. By that point the kids were kinda over it and hungry. It was nice though. i think what they did see they really liked. I wish we could have spent more time though. So after we left we set out to find a place for lunch. We ended up finding this local restaurant that turned out to be really good. We ate then went to the Spy Museum. Now this museum we had heard great things about and bought tickets for, but honestly I wasn't that into it. Maybe we were just tired by that point and it was crowded and hot in there. Anyway I think Colby enjoyed a lot of it, but it was over Lindsay's head. We spent about 2 hours there then we took the Subway back to the hotel. We got in early that afternoon. We were just tired and over the crowds. We went back to the hotel and all rested and watched tv. We also ate dinner in that night b/c we had left overs from the night before. It was nice to just kinda gear down from our travels that way. 
We were up early that morning to get ready to head home. We were all anxious by that point. It was a long day though. We ate breakfast at the hotel then packed up and took an UBER to the airport. We arrived at our gate about 2 hours early. My hopes were we could get there and enjoy a nice lunch, but they unfortunately really didn't have any eating places. We snacked and just waited on the plane. We got home about 4 that afternoon. We went into unpacking and settling in for a new week mode! Look for an update on our first week back!
