Washington D.C.























The best part of our day was spending time with David and Grace (she is adorable). We really needed to spend at least a week here (we walked at least a week's worth of miles though), but we made the most of our day. As we gazed at the magnificence of the capital building itself, we felt a renewed pride in this wonderful country we live in. Up close and from far away, architecturally the capital is gorgeous! We enjoyed the tour of the capital and I learned that the fresco in the dome of the rotunda was the apotheosis of George Washington. (George Washington being deified)
Craig's favorite part I think was the National Air and Space Museum and the highlight in the National Museum of American History was the "puffy shirt" from the famous Sienfelt episode. The cherry blossoms were blooming and a great day was had by all.
