Washington DC trip

Kay, Janell and I (Janae) went to Washington DC for Janell’s last spring break. Our hotel was a few metro stops outside of DC in Chevelry MD… free hotel shuttle, breakfast and internet. What more can we ask for? Janell and I arrived a day before Kay and drove ourselves to George Washington’s house DSC05147at Mt. Vernon. Kay arrived on Sunday so we had the whole week together. We visited and thoroughly went through The Holocaust Museum, DSC05168 Museums of Natural and American Historys,DSC05160 Air and space Museum, The White House,DSC05167 The Capitol, DSC05150Ford Theater, where Lincoln was shot DSC05151 DSC05156 International Spy Museum,National Art museum, Union station (we had entertainment coupons to eat there). We took the hop on hop off bus DSC05149for one day seeing ALL the sites in the 90 degree weather. Saturday we took the metro and bus to BWI and dropped Janell off at the airport for her flight home, she is going to San Diego this week for Band tour so I decided to stay with Kay and go to New Orleans on business and then to Omaha for a few days. We got to our Baltimore Hotel and decided to take the light rail into the city. With no plans we visited the famous waterfront, watched a pirate ship fight, visited the great Bambino’s house he was born in and a sports museum, walked to Little Italy for a bite to eat and went to the Orioles second home game of the season which they lost. Kind of a lot for a half day with no plans. I loved watching the Babe Ruth movies and learning about him. DSC05170
