Washington - Epilogue

(blog note:  This is the first post using Windows Live Writer as opposed to Blogger's online editing tool.....we'll see how it looks and whether this is an improvement or not.  Posting images with Blogger's tool is a complete pain-in-the-butt....I'm hoping using this is a lot easier.)

Forgot to mention two things that we'll always remember about the trip.

1)  The boys were really really really taken with the songs from the musical.  So much so that they were memorizing them the second night, and so much so that they would walk down the street with Kevin singing the songs.  This was cute, and nice, as any time spent singing was time that wasn't spent bickering and fighting with each other.

2)  Kevin was really really really fascinated with the Washington Metro system.  He begged (and begged, and begged, and frankly, grew to be damned annoying about this) to take alternate routes home from certain places.  He had a map of the Metro system and laid out a new line, the Gray Line.  He cried in anguish as Suzanne and I told him that the Underground and Metro in London and Paris were way more advanced and cooler than Washington's system.  I finally relented and let him go by himself once and take a different train (red) to a different train (green or yellow) to the train we started on (orange/blue) to get back to the station near the hotel.

Oh yeah, this Live Writer is way better than the Blogger tool!
