On a lighter note, I was disappointed to find that the Smithsonian Museum of American History is closed for renovation.  But delighted to find a 150 item exhibit in the Air and Space museum.  You can see pop culture items like Seinfeld's puffy shirt and more historic items like the first telephone and Bell's original drafts.  I brought my sons over to see the exhibit and pointed out Abraham Lincoln's stovepipe hat in the first display case.  Later, I asked the youngest.. wasn't that cool, you saw the actual hat that our 16th president wore.  He shrugged his shoulders and said to me... Mom, it's a hat.  It's just a hat.
