The Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History was another of the main "dinosaur museums" I always wanted to visit ever since I was a child.  The dinosaurs there were exactly as I imagined they would be when we visited there in June, 2004.  I enjoyed this museum so much, we hit it two days in a row before continuing on our road trip.  Just click on the pictures for the full size photographs.
