Moonliners DLR Trip 11/23/08 (photos!)

Those who get to go to that other DLR all the time (to the point where, I daresay, the vast majority of us are just plain tired of it), are likely as envious as I of your trip to the really cool DLR that looks suspciously like our soon to be re-revered nation's capital.

Great 'trip report' and photo essay, Moon! You know, I was surprised at how clear the air looked, what with all the fires and all.

Drat, my ruse is exposed. Here are a few more shots from today that did not fit in the "trip report"

Here is the view as you exit the Smithsonian metro stop


My goal for the day was a visit to the Lincoln Memorial, on the way you first pass the Washington Monument.


And then the WWII Memorial




From the WWII it's straight on to the Lincoln. (Notice the pool is slightly frozen over)






The National Museum of American History had its grand reopening this weekend after an extensive renovation. Here is something you won't see very often. R2D2 chatting with Betsy Ross.
