Washington, DC - 8/14/11 & 8/15/11

8/14/11

Sunday was chore day for us. Early trip to the laundry room here at the marina followed by a list of things to get at the store a few blocks away and clean up the boat.

Early evening arrival of daughter Christine and family was delightful. We all had dinner on the boat and discussed what we wanted to do in DC tomorrow.

8/15/11

After breakfast we decided to walk the few blocks to the Air & Space Museum.


The museum is half way between the capitol building and the Washington Monument on the mall.


Don't know who this kid is .... he was just sitting there.


Lots of things to see .....



Moon Rover ....







The Davis family ....



We went to the 3-D movie on Legends of the Air.



Model of the USS enterprise .....





Rock from Mars ......



Amelia Earhart ......



We walked back to the boat in threatening skies but never got wet. It seemed like everyone in Washington leaves their office at 4 p.m. because the roads were crowded. Our company left about 5:30 for home and Ricki & I were able to stay up through dinner and then crashed.


Tomorrow we have to make a choice of joining Moor $tuff & Scoperta for another museum or take our dinghy down for a ride around the area. We will be leaving with Scoperta on Wednesday to return to the York River Yacht haven where we are going to leave the boat for the winter. Looks like we will be back to WV by month end.
