...the Hope Diamond is 45.52 carats?
...Napolean gave his Empress a beautiful diamond necklace upon the birth of their first child? (Um, hello? Audrey took 36 hours to be born! My friend Ann told her husband she was expected a little blue box in the bassinet when they got home from the hospital. Smart girl.)
...that this is made of quartz?
...diamonds come in yellow, blue, pink, and even red?
...the Washington Monument is 555 feet tall and made of marble?
...it took us 26 paces to walk each side of the Washington Monument--104 to go the whole way round?
...it gets really hot in Washington, D.C., in the summer?
We went to the Natural History Museum today and then walked down to the Washington Monument and then here, where, and everywhere to get back to the hotel.
