We picked up Heather at Reagan National Airport about 11 am today. Had lunch at the food court at the Crystal City Metro stop - this is where Ralph and Catherine used to live - I believe on about the 17th floor.? Heather helped me find a compact/flash/reader/writer so I could get my pictures into the computer to send to you. I'm rather proud of myself, but you might get sick of my pictures!! Here is our day with Heather in DC.

There are three lookouts of the city that you need to see: Obviously the Washington Monument which is the tallest. The second is the national cathedral. Since it's outside of downtown you get a different view. You may have to ask to go to the 7th? floor for the observation area. The third and much more obscure is the Old Post Office. You are really just above the buildings with a great view of the Capitol. That was one of the places that surprised me that I liked so much.
There won't be too many pictures! Bring them on...it's a reminder of when Mom and Dad were there...and it's fun seeing what you are doing day to day. What an adventure...oh, and of course, there's church on Sunday...
Let us decide if we get tired of the pictures. Meanwhile keep them coming. I enjoy them.
I agree - keep the picturess coming. We look forward to hear what all you are doing.
Looks like a very nice home and church. What a great experience.
How fun! You have to take her to the holocaust museum too.
I say. . .let's have day by day accounts with pictures. I like them too.
Did you guys get in on any of the action with Burris trying to take the IL senate seat?
In case you haven't seen it yet, there's a shuttle bus company that tours around the capitol, Smithsonian, etc. You can get from one place to another for only a dollar. If I remember right, they are red buses. We flagged one and were so glad we didn't have to walk. Enjoy! It's so fun to hear about your experiences!
