Postal Museum! (DC)

My family and I just got back from a week-long stay in DC. While there, we happened upon the National Postal Museum!

It was near Union Station (not far from our hotel), and knowing what a snail mail fanatic I am, they obliged me with a little trip (between monuments/memorials and other noteworthy museums).  😁

I gotta say though, although I was bit excited, it turned out to be a little "less-than". 😕 But still a little fun.

Various mailboxes

hanging stamps

Not sure the purpose of this, as it was just an email with your digital collection.

kinda cool -- got a close up.

Various methods of mail delivery.

Video, inside of train.

And finally the shop (which REALLY turned out to be disappointing). I was expecting more fun novelty items. Oh well. 

There was a post office connected to the museum, so I was able to mail out some postcards, as well as mail to myself!

Anyway, just for fun!
