Washington D.C. Day 1




Riding on the Metro, every morning. Convenient, but annoying. A necessary evil, but better than driving around in the traffic.
Our first day was spent at 2 Smithsonians: American History and Natural History, as well as the National Archives. We ended the night at Starbucks: reading, drinking, and people watching. So many business minded people that I'm not used to seeing, being in the medical realm all the time.
First sight of DC


Gotta admit, national monuments everywhere you went, pretty cool. One thing to see them in pictures or on tv, another to see them in real life. I really enjoyed the Mall. If I lived there, I would run all around that area. So nice!

Reading President Kennedy's speech

Natural History Museum


Walking to the Starbucks.



Add ImageWe spent 30 minutes goofing around taking pics in front of the monuments. However, most of them did not turn out. Look close and you can see the capitol.

We took 700 pics between the two of us, these are only a few. I'll try to post some from every day to give a glimpse of what we did. Good to be home, so tired of go go go.
