Vacation, Part I…

So, the ill-fated trip to Haiti has turned into a great vacation for me. Even though I missed my flight on Wednesday, it’s still been a fun vacation. I went down to Washington, D.C. for a few days, visited with some friends, saw the sights, spent a lot of time downtown walking the Mall and other various places and sites. I finally got to the Jefferson Memorial, a great and wonderful thing to see, did the Lincoln Memorial and read all of the things there, which was wonderful. Abraham Lincoln (and many other leaders of the time) were such great orators, why can’t the people of today be more like that? (Text of Lincoln’s second inaugural address)

The National Spy Museum was fun, a LOT of reading, but the gadgets and gizmos were cool to see and it was quite an education to cram in to two hours! Next time you’re in D.C. go check it out. It’s not a far walk from the Mall and, if you get there early, the eatery attached has a “Spy Breakfast”, I could tell you what’s in it, but I’d have to kill you.

That’s about it for the beginning of my vacation, I’m on too Part II in Minnesota, which has been a good time so far, basically been hanging, more to come.
