The Future Danny Ocean

The giant squid was more impressive than the Hope diamond at the Museum of Natural history. We ate at dinner at Mehak, the best chicken tikka masala ever, and we witnessed 5 DC cops take down a guy in the middle of the street right in front of us! It was just like the movies...

The Washington Capitals

We went to the National American Art and Portraiture Museum before the hockey game. There was a special Georgia O'Keeffe Ansil Adams exhibit that was unforgettable. After that we went to a tapis bar were they served free paella for happy hour! Finally we made it to the Caps game...it was an awesome first NHL experience for me. The Caps beat NJ and the fans were insane! We finished the night at Capitol City Brewery. I got to show off the G1 to some capitol hill'ers!

Good old Chuck Lindbergh

We started out at the Air and Space museum where we saw the Spirit of St.Louis, Apollo 11, and the Wright Bros plane. The museum was very special. We had lunch and then we went to the Hirshhorn museum where Johnny got into a lively debate with an art docent named Stephanie about how he feels about modern art. The exchange was priceless. We made our way to the national archive to see the constitution and the bill of rights...it was ok, felt a little like Chevy Chase in Vacation at the Grand Canyon.

DC day 1

The Capitol building is already preparing for Obama's big day. Our tour guide was a 60 year-old lady on a power trip with a voice that reminded me of nails on a chalkboard. If she wasn't leading us I might have enjoyed myself more. We had a pretty darn good lunch at Good Stuff Eatery owned by Top Chef contestant Spike...the guy who wore the fedora style hat all the time. Anyway, after a wedge salad and a burger we made our way to 1600 Pennsylvania AVE, or so we thought. We had really walked the opposite direction towards 1600 Pennsylvania AVE SE and we were steadily approaching Virginia! We ended up skipping that, having dinner in Chinatown, and seeing the Jefferson Monument at night (a scary walk, but cool). All in all it was a good day!

A brief intermission in Detroit

Detroit...yeah, I'm pretty sure this is one of the most impressive sights. Its a long tunnel with glass sides and lights here at Detroit Metro. Next stop-Ronald Reagan!
