Sunflowers in Japan

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Sunflowers in Japan!

NBD, just reading in *the* coolest reading room in the country. Today is one of the few days each year the @librarycongress opens its reading room to everyone! We checked out our names in the card catalog and obviously requested the blueprints for the National Archives 😉 Ever since our first visit, I’d planned to make a kid-free trip to the reading room, so it was awesome to learn that a few times a year they let everybody in, whether you’re there to (plan to) steal the Declaration of Independence or not. 🤣 . . . #libraryofcongress #capitolhill #librarylife #nationaltreasure #visitdc #visitwashingtondc #travel #travels #familytravelblogger #familytravel #explore #reading #readingisfundamental #reading📖

Just a few weeks left to visit the @newseum before it closes forever. 😭 I’ve been reading a lot of John le Carré’s Cold War spy novels lately, so this closeup look at a section of the Berlin Wall, guard tower to the east, graffiti’d speech freely drawn on one side and conspicuously blank on the other, especially affected me. What a striking gift to see the impact a free press in a free society has made to governments and people throughout history. . . . #newseum #museum #berlinwall #ichbineineberlinerin #history #freepress #firstamendment #travel #explore #learn #travelwithkids #familytravel #explorewithkids #washingtondc #visitdc #offexploring #donttouch #wedidnttouchit
