One last post about WA DC. Didn't I tell you that J was the host extraordinaire? I'd not heard we could get into the Senate and House of Rep chambers if we asked at our senator's offices for tickets. J calls these the Willy Wonka Gold Tickets and I have to agree.
There were numerous other places we'd not have known to visit without J's knowledge. The Alexander Calder Room in the Smithsonian Hirshorn Museum didn't appear on any maps. We knew about it and could find it because J drew a map for us so we knew to go to the lower level and into the corner. What a hidden treasure. No thanks to the museum that we found it or even knew to look for it. 
It's been almost a month since we got back from DC and I'm still fondly thinking of the experiences. I'd totally go back to that Korean restaurant or have some of those tacos from that hole in the wall around the corner (sorry still don't want to try the beef tongues however) and look forward to another run taking in the sites and the history. Now THAT was a vacation!
