July 5, 2009 (Washington, DC)

Sunday was a beautiful day in the nation's capital. We started our day at the Smithsonian American History Museum. The museum was closed last time we were here for renovation. It is beautiful now. We kind of wished we had stayed at the hotel to watch Roddick and Federer play the longest match in Wimbledon history, but we followed it on our phone. The museum has an amazing cafeteria in the basement where we had lunch.
We then went to the "Newseum". A brand new museum in DC that shows the history of news. It was amazing and almost every one of us wanted to stay longer. We all loved the room with the Pulitzer Prize winning photographs and the room with all the old newspapers. This is an amazing view from the roof of the Newseum of the capitol building. Then we walked up the mall past the Washington monument, past the WWII Memorial and ended up at the Lincoln Memorial.

We ended up in Georgetown for dinner at "The Tombs". Craig used to eat at the Tombs when he spent part of a summer here debating when he was in high school. Good pizza. We met our friends Krysta and Eric Crane there for dinner.

It is interesting to learn about all the changes they are making in D.C. I would love to go there again for a nice long vacation. Also interesting to learn that Krysta and Eric are there. Is it for school? Your photos are great, as usual.
