Saw several kids on Capitol Hill last night dressed up with the construction vests that the National Building Museum was handing out on Big Build Day. I salute you parents.

We had an amazing time at The Big Build @BuildingMuseum! 🏗️ Kids & adults explored construction, used real tools, and even climbed inside a crane! 🚜 It was a fun-filled day of hands-on learning and discovery!
