Macomber Blitz Trip!

Kathleen, Will and Pilar Macomber flew up to the DC area to spend a fun long weekend with us. Will even told the hotel he owned an RV so we could park it in the back parking lot.


Day 1 - did I mention blitz trip?

US Bureau of Engraving and Printing




Walking The Mall in DC





Natural History Museum









 
American History Museum











This was a map on the wall - any guesses as to what portion of the USA this is?



Old Post Office - very obscure but neat side trip!












Day 2, while Hannah was at Prin on a Biology class meeting....

We hit the newer Air and Space out by Dulles. Its way worth it.



The Space Shuttle







Because it was close to Halloween they had a dress up day and literally the entire Star Wars crew was there in dress up. We didnt get many pics cause O was embarrassed to ask, but it was way cool!



Day 3 - Mount Vernon for Fall Festival, and we were getting a little punchy.






Washington wanted to look fashionable, which at the time was stucco. It cost too much, so he had whitewashed sand applied to make it look in style. It is still maintained today. 




And the last day of this whirlwind fun, while Hannah was away at Prin and the Macombers returned to FL, Owen and I took a tour of Ft McHenry in Baltimore.





Really, Mom, so infantile!



Highlights by Mom:
  1. Having the Macombers to play with for the weekend.
  2. Being in DC again for the first time in 4 years.
  3. Burr, its so cold, it reminds me how much I love HI!
  4. Whats not to love about DC and all there is to se.
