WORK, WORK, WORK. Our son had to work on this last full day we spent in Washington, DC and it was a very full day. Grandma was fixing breakfast when she was greeted with the news of Bin Laden's death. Hurrying downstairs I was then greeted with the unexpected information. Surprisingly except for an enhanced security presence (see later in this post), his death had little effect on our trip.

Forward, on with the adventure ! The time has come to reveal all (well, almost all – I do have some secrets). My previous posts alluded to some of these adventures in our nation's capitol. The experience was a bit different than we expected.

OOPs, I don't want to get ahead of myself so I'd better start at the beginning with our arrival at Union Station in Washington, DC (I tend to think way faster than I write and by the time I finish writing a thought I often forget the next thought so I'm trying to slow things down while I write). The weather was nice upon arrival. In fact the weather in DC was quite pleasant for most of our visit though on a couple of occasions it did get a bit windy and cool.
