Washington DC


We had a wonderful day walking and walking and walking and walking.......(get the picture) around DC today.

We are becoming pros on the Metro (thanks to our time in Chicago a few years ago, this was a very easy thing for us to pick up). We took the train into DC and had lunch at Union Station (yes, we had a late start!). Then we did the rounds of the Monuments - a very neat experience. It has been very nice to be seeing this as a family since Kerry and Kenneth just did this trip last year with CloseUp and have had lots of their favorite things to share with Abigail and I - they also know where all the bathrooms are already!



We actually didn't get to go up on the Lincoln Memorial because someone left their backpack up there and they cleared the whole place out just as we got to the steps!


Kerry, Abigail and even Kenneth have taken some great pictures of all the sites.

Tomorrow we are going to hit the museums.

Abigail also got to visit her first GO club tonight and have some lessons and then play a few games against her instructor. She really enjoyed that and is hitting very strongly that since next year's US GO Congress will be held in Colorado Springs, that she should get to go visit her relatives down there next summer around that time.....
