I decided to play hooky. This session of the conference is about a module I don't use. So far. This is about the first real break Ive had. We kept ourselves busy in DC Sunday and Monday. I don't think I've walked so much in years. We took a trolley tour Monday morning and "saw" the town and made decisions about what we all wanted to see. We got off the trolley at Lincoln"s Memorial and explores the area, taking in the Korean War Memorial, Washington Memorail and the Thomas Jefferson Memorial. We also went across into Virginia and Arlington. We were able to see the changing of the guards at Arlington, and the Kennedy graves. I was able to see where Rod was interred, but wasn't able to idiot the actual site. By the time we finished seeing Arlington, we were all starved so we headed back in toward town for some dinner. We headed back after we ate and saw the Vietnam Memorial at dusk and the Washington Memorial by moonlight. We wanted to see more, but we were just out of time and energy. Monday was supposed to be in the 90's so we decided to visit a few museums instead of walking around in the heat. We saw (and I use the term lightly) the Air and Space Muse and the Museum of American History. Too much to see and take it all in! Too many wonderful things, just too much to take in
