April 20 and some of the 19th from 36000 feet

We are somewhere over Ohio on the way home. No pictures right now as my camera is inaccessible at the moment. Yesterday was the Spy Museum (this is privately run but very good with an activity the kids did that they really seemed to enjoy)and the 2 of the Smithsonians but earlier in the morning we saw a little bit of Congress in session and then met with Representative Anna Eschoo. She is a petite woman who enjoys gardening, reading and hanging out with friends. She talked with the kids for quite awhile. The kids read, in popcorn fashion, Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream Speech at Lincoln Memorial. Today was the earliest we got them up and then we were off to Mt Vernon. Following that was a visit to a really good museum about the press called Newseum. We got them all through security though we lost Reed for a bit behind someone with "difficulties" in security. A number of boys have earned nicknames on the trip. Leon is Bisket Boy, Jarod is George, Hiroto is Fire Lord, and Diego is Fire Boy. Hopefully I will put some pictures up tomorrow.
