Well after an overnight ride in the train from Boston we arrived bright and early on a Sunday morning in Washington DC. Train ride was luxury compared to an airline seat, but no way as comfortable as a hotel room(The trouble with hotel rooms they are still in the same place when you wake up as they were when you went to bed)
Hopefully I’ll get to meet Obama and give him some tips on managing money, Just as long as he listens to me and not Wendy.
Anyway the first thing I’ll be doing is what everone comes to Washington for and that is to visit the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum.
I've entered "Boy heaven"
This place just gets better!
I'm lost for words!
The lunar landing 1969
My impersonation of Michael Collins- June 20 1969
Washington Monument
Obamas house.
He's got lots of mowing to do.
Waiting for Obama to see me. Maybe he's busy right now, I think there might be a crisis in the middle east. (Isn't there always)
Security is tight. I think this might be a "secret" service vehicle
Even the white house squirrels are carrying microphones!
Lincoln Memorial. I wonder if Obama will get one of these. I couldn't find one for Richard Nixon.
"The Reflecting Pool" It's never been the same since Forrest Gump & Jenny walked through it! A bit disappointing as Wendy and I were going to re-enact that scene for you all.

Fantastic review Alan. I hope you got to see all the boys toys you needed to and let Wendy spend more money…. I agree with you about “The Reflecting pool” First thing I said was “Forrest” when I saw your pics. Keep entertaining us
