Today, I went downtown with the little guy to check out the National Building Museum. I used to spend many lunch breaks here when I worked downtown for a couple of clients. The neat thing about this museum is it has become a kid friendly place where they can run around and play with building blocks and other lego type items. This place is always packed with moms and dads hanging with their kids...especially on this cold DC Friday.
If you blink you'll miss this place. This is by far the smallest "Old Town" designated area I've ever seen - it's literally about a block in size. Nonetheless, it's a major stop on the W&OD trail where bikers can rest up and pick up a snack at Carolina's BBQ Brothers. Along the trail is the Old Ashburn Mill which is now an antique furniture store. There are also a couple of other stores and a historic fire station and post office to check out. Here are some photos I made below.
