Loony Visits the National Archives

A trip to DC is not complete without a visit to the National Archives. Here you can view the revered documents of American history: the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Having just watched National Treasure the weekend before I visited, I couldn't help but contemplate the wildly unrealistic treasure-hunting antics of Benjamin Franklin Gates and his partner in crime, Riley Poole.

Patrick Gates: What is that? Animal skin? How old is it?
Ben Gates: About 200 years.
Patrick: Sure?
Ben: Pretty darn.
It just looks like a faded old document on animal skin.
