Many who travel to Washington, D.C. are familiar with the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum on the National Mall. A bit further out is the larger companion facility, the Steven F.

Amsterdam: Het Scheepvaartmuseum, NEMO Science Museum, Verzetsmuseum, and Beschuit (Dutch Rusk)
On our second day in Amsterdam, the plan was to fit in as many museums as we could. I think we did pretty well with two small children: Het Scheepvaartmuseum, NEMO Science Museum, and Verzetsmuseum.
