* Smithsonian! Smithsonian! Smithsonian! - Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian props, The Castle, and the repairing of a space something or other at the Air and Space Museum are the main things I got pictures of, but we did quite a few of the museums.
* Travel on the Metro was very somber and a bit slower after Monday's accident, but it is still my favorite public transportation system.* Vacation Eating: McDonald's for breakfast, various food courts for lunch, and Cheesecake Factory for dinner. Lovely!
* Kooky, yet relaxing, sculpture gardens.
* The National Archives! We didn't actually go in because the line was always too long, but I had to take some snaps outside my motherland.
* We got surprisingly close to The White House.
* Nature in the big city - a duck family cruising in the Constitutions Garden Lake on the Mall.
* Did you know that the National Aquarium is in the basement of the Commerce Building? Odd, but true. We spotted a turtle on the move.
* The Tourists Traps - We saw the big ones, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Capital, Arlington Cemetery, and the White House. I really like the Jefferson Memorial and the FDR Memorial, but we didn't make it to those this time.
