Smithsonian Natural History Museum

This is an amazing museum, with a lot of education value whether you believe in evolution or not, unfortunately the National Fossil Hall was closed when I went to this museum in July and doesn't open until 2019.

One of the first things you see in the museum is this tyrannosaurus rex head.

The first major room I went into was the room with all the sea creature fossils which are hung from the rafters.  Cool fish and here's some pictures.

 



The next room I went into was the exhibit that has all the stuffed animals which to me seemed pointless but its there if you want to look at it.

 

I thought the skeleton room was cool and interesting.  Some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

 



 

As I said in the beginning the fossil room was closed but they had a small room with a couple dinosaurs in it.



the rest of the pictures, the last one is a statue outside of the museum.

Baltimore City Firefighter's Memorial

This monument is located on N Gay Street & E Lexington Street, its near the war memorial plaza.  I happened to walk past the monument.  The bottom of the monument which unfortunately is unreadable in the picture says in essence.  This monument is dedicated to Baltimore City Firefighters: past, present, and future.

Chaps Pit Beef

I went to this restaurant at the end of my Fairfax Virginia trip.  This place has been on diners, drive-ins, and dives.  The service was fast, and 2 minutes later I had my sandwich.  I ordered the chipped beef sandwich which tasted awesome Great food and service.  Below are some pictures enjoy... at some point I'll post the 10 minute video I took to get here.
