Sad to say, it's been years since I was in DC. You've whetted my appetite for so much of the city all over again, however. I thank you for that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245036.post-52123946106935478562007-06-22T19:02:00.000-05:002007-06-22T19:02:00.000-05:00We also loved the Spy Museum when we visited D.C. ...We also loved the Spy Museum when we visited D.C. with the entire extended family several years ago. It didn't sound like my cup of tea, but all the nephews (of which there are tons) and sons decided it would be cool, so we did some negotiating. (You know, "OK, one hour in the Spy Museum for one hour in the Botanical Gardens" kind of thing.) I was scared of the crowds too, especially when you go up in that fancy elevator, but so many people rushed through and then we all took our time reading and watching and listening. VERY hands on and interactive, great for pre-teen and teen-age boys!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245036.post-2580759445172383852007-06-22T16:50:00.000-05:002007-06-22T16:50:00.000-05:00I'm just claiming myself as an honorary entling, m...I'm just claiming myself as an honorary entling, man.

Apparently, several years ago there was a children's bookstore nearby that couldn't stay afloat and when they went under the P&P owners invited them to come and run the kid section of their store.<BR/><BR/>I'm ashamed to say that after 4+ years here, I still haven't visited the LOC. It's one of my biggest shames.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245036.post-66449248776426014772007-06-22T13:44:00.000-05:002007-06-22T13:44:00.000-05:00When I went to DC I told everyone I could get to l...When I went to DC I told everyone I could get to listen how beautiful the Library of Congress was. All those themes of things, I couldn't think of anything that was left out. I bought the book about it I loved it so much.<BR/><BR/>(My favorite of all was the Holocaust Memorial, it was so well done.)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401807675546808620noreply@blogger.com
