While we still prefer the way you wandered through the train exhibit when it was inside versus around it outside, the large scale of the dinosaur theme does seem more fitting outside.
One of the more detailed (or graphic?) ones was the Repenomamus with a Psittacosaurus in its mouth.
I think my favorite area was the Ankylosaurus and the Pteranodon under the bridge.
And of course, there was a T-Rex.

We first attempted to go to another coffeeshop, but maps seemed to be directing us into the Crystal City underground and the way it wanted us to go was not open. We did eventually find where we wanted to go, which was not actually in the underground, nor was it open at 7am as maps indicated. As it wasn't open for another 20 minutes we headed back towards the hotel and ended up at the other coffeeshop I had considered for this morning.
Tatte Bakery & Cafe was not my first choice because is a chain with a decent amount of locations, but it seems to only be in a few states.
I enjoyed the Pumpkin Tahini Latte. We got Mom the same. Dad had a Pistachio Latte and we got Mik a mocha.

We had planned to get coffee in Rustic Roast as we headed to DC, but it was closed for Black Friday. Thus, we instead went to the nearby C3 Coffee Co.
I really enjoy their seasonal Butter Pecan Latte. Mik had hot chocolate.
Mom had a Cinnamon Toast Crunch Latte and Dad had a Flat White.
