Then we headed to the US Postal Service museum\u2026 We get down to DC fairly often so we’re trying to spread our view out\u2026 The reason we chose the Postal Service is that Anna had a book about a famous dog “oney” who is the mascot of US Postal Service the very end of the 1800s. He ended up traveling all over the country and world.. When only died, he was stuffed and putting in this museum kind of weird but kind of cool
