It's a very nice day today. The weather was nice and windy, and the Metro was not crowd. Mr. Brown took us to National Gallery of Art and Natural History Museum. This was my third time to DC. With delighted mood, even the sun was smiling at me.
    When I saw Washington Monument from distant place, I told myself that I must visit this building today. And fortunately, I did it and took many cool pictures!

A very good day today with a very good mood. Enjoy the sunshine in DC.

My favorite artists are Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gogh. When I saw their paintings, I could help but just stand over there and watched for a long long time. Monet used many similar colors and spot them carefully and well mixed on the canvas. I can calm myself down and immerse in the drawings. But, when I watched Van Gogh's paintings, something mad, crazy and even ecstatic would be filled out me. I like Van Gogh's strokes. He always piled up the colors when he forgot himself in drawing. Then the paintings were just like statues that you could admire them in different ways.

We have the similar museum as Natural History Museum in Taiwan, which is called National Museum of Natural Science. So when I stepped into Natural History Museum and watched the fossils and specimens, the memories of my childhood came back as I was just a 12-year-old girl. I think the most interesting thing was that I could create my own face as Neanderthal woman. It's so ugly but so funny! I also saw the biggest diamond in the world--Hope Diamond, which is 45.52 carat. So sparkling and amazing.
After the tourist of the museums, we went to Washington Monument. The sun was still  shining in the sky. We took lots of great pictures though we could not take the elevator to the top of the monument.

What so sad was we were so tired out that we could not walk and visit Lincoln Memorial anymore. I must return here and visit other museums and great buildings for the next time.
