No, not really.

When I go to DC, I will need to spend at least a couple of days at the Smithsonian.

While I am evading Moonliner of course.

Good luck with that, I'm an expert marksman.

I don't know about JW, but I intend on seeing the National Museum of Natural History's "Orchids Through The Eyes of Darwin" that's going to be on exhibit to help celebrate Darwin's birthday. I'm a HUGE orchids fan (had about thirty at one point) and grow them on our patio.

Afterwards, I'm heading over to the museum's Butterfly Pavilion.

I also want to go by the Botanical Gardens while we're there in DC and, of course, the Capitol and the Library of Congress.

I also have not yet seen the new WWII Memorial and JW has never seen Maya Lin's Vietnam Memorial, so I will want to revisit that with him. Personally I don't know of anyone who is honored there, but it's such incredibly powerful symbolic architecture.

I'm totally jealous. Can't wait to hear all about your adventures.

The last time I was in Washington was when I was 15. We actually extended our stay because I (the "I" who didn't want to be on a trip with Mom and Dad) LOVED DC and adored the museums. It was one of the highlights of our 6-week cross country driving trip.

SCS should know me enough to know that we will be cramming in every museum we can.

NA, you must have been there about a year before the last time I was there! It was November 1977. I spent my 16th birthday there.

August 1977.

Ah! Just a few months earlier. We just missed each other!

Ok... We're all packed. Going to bed shortly so we can get up at the lovely hour of 2:30am for our 6:05 flight. Next time you hear from us, we'll be in DC!
