Since we are discussing museums now, I thought it would completely appropriate to write a blog about my trip to the Smithsonian Institute. When I was in about third or fourth grade, my grandparents took my sister and I on a road trip to Washington D.C. and other notable southern cities. One stop along the way included a visit to the Smithsonian. There are many things I remember very well, like the giant dinosaur skeleton. But the one item that I remember the most was the Hope Diamond. I'm not sure if I loved it so much simply because I was a girl and it was a massive diamond, or if it was because The Titanic was still a reasonably recent movie and I was amazed that I was actually looking at the same diamond it referenced. Either way, I still have the pictures from my trip, and I would definitely love to return there now that I am older!
