Day 2 DC Tue Sep 30 2014

Just three more pages to do and then our vacation blog will be complete.

Sometimes life gets in the way of doing stuff we'd like to do.

But patience is a wonderful thing if you look at it the right way.

Here's more on our vacation to DC

Our first picture on the mall.
We're on our way to the air & space museum.

We wanted to take a couple of pictures here because of our connection with Ed Albers and American Airlines.

Jan said, "I should be the one standing next to the flight attendant.
I couldn't agree more as you will see in the next picture.

Much better :)

Love the models! Interesting facts, but none that I remember.

This side of the museum held aircraft stuff.

The other side of the museum held space stuff.
These two shots turned out kinda neat, uh?

I took a picture of a picture. I liked the birds-eye view of the mall.

End of air and space museum. You could spend all day there if you wanted.

Isn't she lovely?

Such a cute couple.

Which would you choose between this one and the one below?

Can you find what's different in each picture?

No pictures inside the Archives Museum, but I did take a couple of pics outside.

This is the sculpture garden just opposite the Archives Museum.

Huge eraser for all those mistakes we've made.

This shot was taken before we went into the Archive Museum.

This shot was taken after the Archive Museum. Can you tell what has changed?

Break time. At the Sculpture Garden Cafe.

Walking down the street looking for the aquarium.

Looking towards the White House. Notice the pretty lady sitting on the bench?

Lincoln was a great president. Loved these words.

That's the Potomac. You cross over to Arlington Cemetery from here.

Tried to take a still shot while in motion. Didn't work too well.

Kinda neat to see Abe Lincoln at night.

Jefferson Memorial - did not visit.

I come back later the next day to capture some of the quotes.
