Instrumental field trip.

We ventured downtown Tuesday evening to go to the American History Museum, which is open until 7:30 in the summer! In keeping with our theme for the week, we wanted to see the musical instruments exhibit. I love having access to so many amazing free museums that we can pop into even for a short time. We had enough time to wander through the transportation exhibit and check out a great new temporary exhibit, For All The World To See: Visual Culture and the Struggle for Civil Rights.

Our next stop was the Capitol to see the Air Force Band perform an outdoor concert. The girls loved dancing to the music and checking out all the different instruments. You can catch one of the military bands doing a concert somewhere in D.C. almost every night in the summer. You can find the summer concert schedule HERE.

Cute even when he's bored.
