Pizza, the Capital and Beyond


Our choice of food after our long train ride and several naps was ironically pizza.  Our little pizza parlor, named Flippin Pizza, boasted of serving nothing artificial with no added sugar or oil.  I am no food critic and readily enjoyed my two slices of pepperoni and ironically Brooklyn pizza.

Our real adventures, however, began today with our bus tour of our nation’s capital.  Our first stop was the Capital Building.

Finally at the Capital

After our tour of the Capital Building, we took an underground corridor to the Library of Congress.

The picture speaks for itself

Something to ponder...

And speaking of beauty...
 Our next stop was space, 'the final frontier'...

Glad it's only an hour car ride...don't want it to be too long

Hmm...did we take a wrong turn back there?

Yup...we definitely did...
Don't worry...we found our way back from the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum and found our way to the Washington Monument.

The White House, the boys and I before it rained.

After the rain...we were...well, soaked!

And so we returned to the hotel, ate at a Chinese restaurant and some of them swam.  Until new adventures...
