Today was the first full day in Washington DC. Since I did not bring the cable to upload my pictures from my camera...you'll have to survive with just a narrative of the day for now.
We got out of the house around 9:00 this morning. Olivia drove us to the Spy Museum. We were all hungry, so decided to eat at the Spy Museum Cafe. It was delicious. Than we spent the next 3 hours or so in the Spy Museum, which included the interactive Spy Experience. We were agents in Khandar. It was fun.
Than, went across the street to the Portrait Museum. It was interesting. TONS of Lincoln pictures...this town LOVES Abraham Lincoln. We spent most of our time there in the Presidents display. It was pretty cool seeing all those pictures there...I enjoyed it!
Than went and got a bite to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe (with a quick stop by Ford's Theatre). Than walked all the way to George Washington University.
On our trek to GWU, we made a pit stop at the old Post Office, and took an elevator up 12 floors to see out over Washington DC. It was beautiful....nice view.
Also on our trek, we made a stop at the White House, and took the obligatory pictures, and stood around waiting patiently to see President Obama...no such luck. Maybe tomorrow!
Adam and I took a shuttle to the Kennedy Center, where we watched a free show. It was nice, and a good change of pace...and actually nice to sit down finally. We than went back to GWU, and made a walk to Georgetown.
We had hoped to go to a Blues/Jazz club we'd heard a lot of cool things about, unfortunately, we decided we liked our money too much. It was a $25 admission per person, $10minimum purchase per person, plus a $2.50 surcharge per person. Needless to say, we opted out...and went around the corner and had a couple beers while waiting for Krissy to get out of class.
Took a metro trip, went to a full fledged Grocery Store in DC (which I found very exciting for some reason), walked many a block to get a Taxi, than finally came home. Adam is now icing his knee, I'm elevating my feet hoping to be able to run tomorrow...and we're planning another day in DC. We'll keep you posted.
Sincerely,
Killhams in DC

I'm so jealous and so happy for you guys! It sounds so fun! Grey loved the spy museum when he was there. Glad you are having so much fun. Give Krissy a big hug and ask if she's seen the man of her dreams again. Miss you all and I'm so jealous!
I am jealous too! My husband and I have been talking about a DC trip to see the sights and we were just hoping that Obama would win the election so that we can do it in the next 4 years. :D
