8a in Washington DC (or, more specifically, somewhere in Maryland) is 5a California-time …
Nevertheless, time is limited. Off to the Metro station. Where we puzzled over the pricing, ended up buying a week pass, and ultimately paid more than we would have with single tickets, but never again had to hassle the machine. (Tip to travelers … buy your one-week “Smart Trip ” card at CVS for $2, instead of at Metro for $10, and then load it with 7-day Short Trip Pass).
Hitting the streets. The COLD, windy streets. Yes, those hoody-sweatshirts do pass as coats … in
California.
The Smithsonian Castle … now houses admin & information for all Smithsonian museums.
There was just a little bit of Fall left. So pretty.
The Mall, looking towards the Capital.
Looking towards the [scaffolded] Washington Monument…
First destination: National Gallery of Art.

Stop the truck right this second. You came to DC. I would have driven over. Just to meet the boys. : ).
I love your coats. That is what Kaish wears all winter. That and some shorts. : )
Hahaha, Becky, I was thinking the same thing about the coats! Ben is still in t-shirt and shorts. Hoping the hoodie is coming. Susan, it's fun to see fall through your lens! I can't wait to see the rest of this. The time for our family DC trip can't be too many years off!
