17th of October my partner,
and her kids headed to Washington, D.C. for 4 days. I was to take charge of the little people for
four days. I hope I could survive! With everything that was closed to figure out
where to go was a little tough.
We went to the National Building
Museum http://www.nbm.org I was more excited
about this than the kids. We have built
some really cool things here in the good ole United States of America. I thought I was going to be overwhelmed by
all the exhibits and static displays. I’m
estimating but out of the 600 rooms 20 of them are occupied. I was so beside myself when I saw this. There was no shred of evidence we constructed
and bridges, highways, or other buildings than the model of the Chrysler
building “they had a scaled model
there.
They did have some nice exhibits,
but nowhere did it come close to the advancements in building advancements in
this great nation. I know it’s not a big
draw like the Smithsonian or the National Zoo.
It rained on us for 2.5 days
straight I thought I was going to have to build an arc! Our hotel was close to
the Pentagon.
We ate really well, and stayed in
Alexandria, Virginia. While there we ate
at a place called Kabob Palace http://www.kabobpalaceusa.com
this place rocks! Great Food and you probably will not finish whats all on your
plate. I took the little people to
luch at a very dear place in my heart call The Hamburger Hamlet they have
several locations this was in Crystal City http://hamburgerhamlet.com/menus/crystal-city
. I did not take them to my all-time
favorite location which is in Georgetown. The days with the little people gave
me a whole different perspective on single parents!
We did also go to the National
Geographic Museum. I was quickly
reminded how bad traffic gets and how annoying parking is if you’re not a
local! There are plenty of one way
streets and they take you way out of your way! Lol The little people enjoyed
the photographs! They had an exhibit that was about the female professional photographers
from all over the world.
This link will take you there
enjoy. http://events.nationalgeographic.com/events/national-geographic-museum/
Later the rain stopped and we
walked around the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Needless to say they were worn out after
that! I was to whom I’m I kidding. Well enjoy the photos. I hope to be on the water soon!
