Washington, DC. We took this trip between June 28th and
July 7th, 2002. In summary: DC is a beautiful place to visit,
but I'm not sure I'd want to live there. The traffic is rough,
and it takes a lot of time to just plain get around. Mind you,
I don't mind cities, etc, but I think I prefer smaller ones (I
really miss living in Kansas City and Des Moines). All in all,
it was an awesome trip.

We did some typical "touristy" type things, as well as
just kicked back and relaxed. We stayed with a friend, so that
helped out a bunch. With the traffic congestion, the
Metro
was a godsend. We simply drove to the nearest Metro station,
and hopped on the train. Getting to all of the popular tourist
spots became easy, if not a little time-consuming. All in all,
I'd much rather ride the Metro than fight with traffic and
parking.

Enough of my blathering - on with the pictures. For your
viewing convenience, I have scanned two types of images - large
and small. The large ones can be over half a megabyte, while
most of the small ones are 100k or smaller. It all depends on
your bandwidth and your stubborness - if you're on a modem
connection, it's time to upgrade if it's possible in your area.
