The Sprinting Marathon

Those of you who regularly drop in on my blog should be forewarned: do not expect any posts from me for the next 8-10 days. Why, you ask? Because I'm traveling southward, to the place where the men become men and the boys become....well, not men: Washington, DC.

It's not so much of a vacation, so much as it is a sprinting marathon. With so much to see, our schedule is packed:

Washington Nationals game - check.
Capitol Building, Library of Congress, Kennedy Center, National Cathedral - check.
National Holocaust Museum, Supreme Court, Senate & House office buildings - check.

*breath*

National Archives, various Smithsonian museums, National Mall - check.
Monuments galore, Arlington National Cemetery - double check.
National Zoo - check.

*breath*

Mount Vernon - check.
Last day of the Cherry Blossom Festival - check.
Papal visit - check.

*deep breath*

White House - check.

My first trip to DC in eight years will be like "The Godfather: Part II" of vacations: longer, better, and more complicated.

See you on the other side.

Steve. Hope you have a nice trip. DC is a wonderful place to visit. Is the Zoo on your list of visits? See you in PHS next week.
