DC: National Archives

My roommate fell ill during our trip to DC. So for the large part of the DC trip, I travelled alone. It’s rather refreshing to browse through the museums at my own pace. The only downside? You have to bother other tourists to help you snap pictures.

On my must-see list…

The archives of USA.

It houses the original copy of the Declaration of Independence. You live only once, you really got to see this manuscript in person.

I had to queue 1 hour to get in… And I was one of the early birds!

Hello humans… Jostling with the thick crowd is no fun at all.

And here it is. This is what I came for.

These people really have lovely handwriting.

After having spent my early morning looking at the document, I headed to see gems at the Smithsonian museum.

And I thought these were huge.

This, I like. It costs $1 billion Chanel bags?

Can I bring this home? I think it’ll look really pretty sitting in my room.

This would do too. =)

But my favourite, is this.

The famed “Hope Diamond”.

And that rounds up my trip to DC. See you at New York!
