Trip to DC

Last week (Oct 7 - Oct 15) I was able to go to Washington DC, without my spouse or child.  I love them both, but what a great vacation.  I haven't had even a spare moment to post on my blog the pics, so I will right the highlights of everything I can remember (before I forget)

  • Maddame Tussauds Wax Museum
  • International Spy Museum
  • Ford's Theatre (where Lincoln was shot)
  • Arlington Cemetery (a favorite)
  • Lincoln Memorial
  • Vietnam War Memorial
  • Korean War Memorial
  • WWII Memorial
  • Washington Monument (though it was closed to go up in)
  • National American History Museum
  • National Aquarium
  • White House
  • Renwick Art House
  • Ethiopian Dinner (new experience)
  • Georgetown
  • Visiting Emilys Work
  • Going to Lunch with my friend
  • Museum of Natural History
  • National Air and Space Museum
  • National Archives
