Voyage Voyage in D.C.
 
 

You never know what you will find on the National Mall. On August 24, 2006 the International Astronomical Union stripped Pluto of planet status, and reclassified it as a ‘dwarf’ planet. On about August 28, visitors began leaving notes and cards at the Pluto unit in front of the Smithsonian Castle. Apparently all the other planets were in DC to sign a condolence card.
