So we're all pretty much out of gas today. Will and I woke up at 7 AM and made our way to the Washington Monument. The line was long and we were going to be short on time today, so we opted out of the elevator trip. We were a little bummed but enjoyed a leisure stroll back to the hotel.
On the way we managed to find our way behind the White House, where we were not able to go yesterday. We took a picture for Jooj. We also spied the remnants of the the Easter Egg hunt (Peeps and such).
We checked out of the hotel and made our way to the International Spy Museum. A line!!! We walked around the block to the Ford's Theatre and... A LINE!!! Grrr. Kelsey and Jooj haggled with a vendor (well, *I* haggled) and picked up a pair of knock-off purses. Teehee!
We ate lunch and toured the Smithsonian American Art Museum. We hit the more recent stuff and saw some really cool things. The kids, already tired and out of gas, were done way before I was ready to leave. But I had to go with the flow and move along with them.
We stopped in the International Spy Museum's shop where Will picked up a pair of sunglasses that allow him to see behind him. He also bought a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War. What a funny kid.
We walked around a bit longer, hopped on the metro, hung out in the hotel lobby, crammed onto the rush hour metro, got off in front of Reagan, and flew home.
