Appreciating the Nation's Capital

The last time we spent any time in Washington, DC, was when we traveled there as we were shopping for colleges for our daughter and stopped at Georgetown University. This was back in 1999! Not much seems to have change except, it appears, for even much more hustle.

Today, we had the privilege and a great time taking our daughter to work (yes, we did!), marvel at the monuments, and took half a day to stroll the first and third floors of the National Museum of American History. We then made a quick visit National Museum of Natural History and grabbed lunch in the close company some some impressive dinosaur reproductions!

Our Nation's capital is a wonderful sight, not just because it was laid out and designed by Pierre Charles L'Enfant, a French-born American architect and civil engineer, but because it feels spacious, clear and it breathes with lots of space. In addition, their subway system is certainly the best in the country and of the finest in the world!
