The National Archives
houses The Declaration of Independence, The US Constitution and the US Bill of
Rights, which we saw under dim lights and no photography. These were very cool to see, although it was disappointing
that the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights are both faded to
almost nothing (thus the dim lights and no photography rule).
Every day we
went by the Archives Building there was a loooong line of people waiting to
enter. However while we were browsing online one day, we noticed that for
$1.50/person, one could secure a specific date and time to bypass the line and walk
right in ~ best $3 we’ve spent in a while! We arrived at our designated time, walked
through a separate entrance where there was no line, went through security, and
bypassed a second line inside the building (only a specific number of people are
allowed in the Rotunda to view the famous documents). Easy-peasy!
Easy and affordable - no matter where you are!
