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.
