What I Learned in Washington DC

1. You need at least three sets of feet to make it through a week's worth of walking and sightseeing;

2. Every other person, including the unborn, is a runner;

3. There is a memorial, monument or museum every five feet;

4. The Capital Hilton is the ONLY place to stay, being 2 blocks from Chez Dubya;

5. There are more people from other countries in DC than in their countries themselves;

6. If you look for an open restaurant in the business district over the Labor Day Holiday in the evening you're really screwed;

7. There are only two types of people in the Beltway: VIPs (Very Important Persons) and VUPs (Very Unimportant Persons). DH and I are VUPs. In spades.

8. When a man in a white button-down shirt, black tie and black slacks, and large firearm tells you to do anything you do it with a smile.

9. The presidential memorials are unbelievably majestic;

10. Any Smithsonian museum worth its salt has the power to make me realize I'm a moron, a pipsqueak and an underachiever within approximately 90 seconds.

HAD AN AWESOME TIME! Was glad to get back though: had almost a two-week case of Catheus Interruptus that was a little difficult to take.

Good to be back -

Welcome back girl! We missed you!

One of these years I will make that trip to Washington with my children, too! I love the history of our country.

I bet you kept yourself in shape with those "three pair of feet" sightseeing and all, you know! :7

Oh one more thing.......if the smithsonian made you feel like an underachiever....what does that make the rest of us? (I could name a few areas I'm thinking of but mish mosh's jump out at me currently). :p :p :p :p
