Troy arranged for me to join him on his 2nd CMB class in Washington DC. in November. I spent a good deal of time figuring out the Metro and squeezing sight seeing in the few days we had. I have learned where some of the horror/thriller and sci-fi get some of their ideas on what is scary etc. I had no personal reference before. It was all interesting and I enjoyed getting to know a little of how to get off where you want to end up. The Smithsonian exhibits that I got to see (Air and Space, Natural History and National Art Museums) were great, but of course I couldn't see it all. Troy and I went on a night time tour of the memorials and the area. The memorials were much more moving in person than I thought they would be. In fact, I had many thoughts as we started the whole business, But I would like to dwell just on the fact that they were very impressive and most felt a bit sacred. I almost didn't go to Korean Memorial but was most impressed and was very moved as we walked around it and saw the faces. I would really like to go back and take the children.
