We spent three chilly days in our Nation's Capitol touring the sites, riding the Metro just being tourists.

The Air & Space museum was a nice treat. It was fascinating to see the rockets, space station, and vintage air planes.

Of all the things we saw, the Museum of Natural History was my favorite, in particular the Orchid exhibit. I knew that orchids came in many types and varieties, but to see so many up close was a real treat!

We also took the tourmobile and saw the Jefferson Memorial, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam & Korean Veterans War Memorials, the White House, Smithsonian Castle and other places.

If the batteries wouldn't have kept escaping from the camera (and thus resetting the date), everything would have been peachy
