DC trip

We had a wonderful (yet short) visit with family in DC recently. Rick and I were both out that way for business and decided to overlap our stay for a long weekend of food, laughs, games, and sightseeing with the Palmieri's. Though we had some rain out (reducing our outdoor activities) there was much fun to be had! Here are a few pics:

Before our open bus tour was cancelled, I learned there is only 1 monument in DC - the Washington Monument. The others are memorials.

In the far background you can see the top of the capital. 

First weekend the Discovery was on display at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. The Enterprise was removed and waiting to be delivered (flown piggy back on an airplane) to New York. I got to see that at the airport upon arrival.

Awe, we're cute! :) I think those are suspended satellites above us in the background. 

Ok, so here is another belly shot! After we left the museum we ate at a fabulous Turkish restaurant. It was great as usual (I try to eat there every time I'm in town).
