Besides all of the historical monuments in Washington, DC such as the Lincoln, Washington and Jefferson Memorials, the national cemetery and the Vietnam Veteran's memorial, the city hosts the most incredible museum system in the world with the Smithsonian. Besides seeing the beautiful architecture and landscaping on the grounds, a location for apartment-ites to definitely visit is the National Museum of Natural History. This is an incredible, free site open every day of the year except Christmas day from 10 am to 5:30 pm. From dinosaur bones to precious gems, pages of descriptions could be provided here, but we'll highlight the most fantastic. Speaking of precious gems, probably the most famous piece in the museum is the Hope Diamond. At 45.52 carats, the deep blue diamond is surrounded by 16 diamonds and on a necklace of 45 diamonds. An incredible sight with a well-worth reading history starting in 1668 when it had an original size of over 112 carats, this jewel probably originated in India. In addition to the diamond, you may see the Carmen Lucia Ruby, 23.1 carats and the Janet Annenberg Hooker Hall of Geology, Gems and Minerals, located near the Hope Diamond. The "bones" of some of the most important dinosaurs known to man stand in the halls of the Smithsonian, in the Paleobiology Exhibit of the museum. Here, you'll be enamored by these huge, and small beasts that were made extinct millions of years ago and find out more about their rise and fall on earth. You may also visit Birds of DC, Fossil Plants, Butterflies and Plants, Insect Zoo and Reptiles, as well as temporary, traveling exhibits from museums around the world. A cafe, an IMAX theatre and museum stores can keep you active for a full day, so wear your walking shoes and be ready for a time of learning and fun.
