Washington DC

In the Spring of 2008, we traveled to Washington DC. I have worked in the city previously, but have never really had time to play tourist. So now was the time. We camped out at a hotel just off the Mall and did the sites. One site was the Department of Printing and Engraving (sorry no pictures allowed) where they "make" about $700 Million a day ... and truly sorry ... no samples at the end of the tour. We visited our Senator's office, sat in the gallery of the House and Senate which were in session, had lunch in the cafeteria of the Supreme Court. Did the monuments. In general, it was a hoot!

One of the highlights of our visit was a Seqway Tour of the city. What a ball! Here's the tour website: http://www.capitalsegway.com/tours. And see http://www.segway.com for for Segway's site. If you EVER have a chance to ride one of these ... TAKE IT!

Working in DC: Okay, a digression but it will be short. At work, guys (mostly) stand around he water cooler and Monday-Morning-Quarterback the big game. "How about that Red Zone Production?!?" Or, "Man, the defense sure shut down the offence!" Many years ago, the US Navy was my client. When you work for the Navy, during the Falkland’s war, you Monday-Morning-Quarterback a different competition. "How about the Exocet?!?" Or, "Man, those missiles sure shut down the offensive!"

These photos were taken in May 2008 mostly with a Nikon D3.
