NATIVE AMERICAN SMITHSONIAN MUSEUM
OPENED SEPTEMBER 21, 2004

which also happened to be my 77th birthday

What a good excuse to celebrate!

Sunday September 19, 2004, Nancy and I went to the national mall to reconnoiter
We looked around the Museum of Natural History

The Smithsonian Castle is where most marches begin and the Native American Festival
was to be no exception, although it was much more crowded on September 21

Not certain what we wanted to see we just wandered around

Monday September 20 we took the Metro to Union Station which was closer to
the Russel building where we were to pick up our tickets to the Senate gallery
from our senior senator Patty Murray

This day is the day my camera just gave up and I couldn't take another picture
From here on Nancy got a disposable camera and recorded the remainder of our celebration

Awaiting further scans from the disposable camera
