License plate from DC seen today with motto on the bottom edge "Taxation Without Representation." True. But is that the district motto, for real? Inquiring minds want to know.
The kids think that DC should be called DW instead, not wanting any homage to Cristobal Colon, a.k.a. Christopher Columbus, to be present in our governmental monikers. Washington, D.W. just doesn't sound right to old ears, though. Just sayin'.
We have visited the Air and Space Museum, the National Gallery of Art, the National Zoo, and the Natural History Museum in the past 3 days. We are all somewhat overstimulated. Today J-dude reached a new level of overwhelmed crankiness from which he is now recovering. Sisi is still soaking stuff in like crazy. I just have sore feet.
Tomorrow, our last day of sightseeing, is still up for grabs a bit. It looks like we will go back to the Zoo to see a few exhibits we missed. And then...who knows. Certainly we will watch some more of March Madness on our 7000 TV channels at the fancy schmancy hotel where we are staying.
Speaking of this hotel, it is a cut above my usual price-range and service level, and kind of a fun treat for me. We have a little studio with kitchennette, king bed and sofa bed. Free breakfast and 4 nights of free dinner as well! Indoor pool, a kids room with ping-pong table, and very friendly staff. I feel happily spoiled.
Friday we will head home to The Player, Three-Point, and Samarra. And maybe some snow still on the ground!

Oh, it sounds like so much fun! Hey, maybe you could sightsee over at the Supreme Court! And have the J-Dude and Sisi give them some advice.
I envy your site locations.
DW is better than GW.
