Wonderful, wonderful Washington DC

We are back from our trip to Washington DC. We had the best time. Dave had a conference 6/18-6/20, so we arrived early on Fathers Day, 6/15. We stayed at the Grand Hyatt, which was fabulous. The woman checking us in did us an immense favor by upgrading us to use the "Regency Club Lounge" on the twelfth floor. Everyday they put out a breakfast spread, snacks, hors d' oeuvres, and a dessert buffet. We felt so fancy! We ate at a nice Thai restaurant our first night, Haad Thai. Jill & Erin had the Pad Thai, Dave had the Pad Z U and Carrie had satay chicken skewers. The desserts in the club room that night were little tarts and chocolate chip cookies.

Our first full day we spent walking quite a bit. We saw the white house, some memorials, the Air & Space museum and the dinosaur bones at the Museum of Natural History.

Shocked by the close quarters, Erin may not pursue an astronautical career now.

This was our favorite sculpture in the sculpture garden.

Look out!
