Patriotic, Part II

 One of my favorite things to do on vacation, if possible, is to go on a run. Especially if its possible to do some sight seeing along the way. Another favorite is to sleep in and eat omelets, but for the sake of balance, we did both.

  It was a little overcast, but still a great run around the mall to see the monuments.

 We took a quick look at the Lincoln Memorial....we did a full visit of the monuments a couple of days later.

 After breakfast and a much needed shower, we headed to the American History Museum.

 I did not need an exhibit to tell me I wouldn't be good at hand washing clothes.

 This exhibit took one house and followed the different families that have lived there through different eras of American history. I thought it was such a clever idea.

 Learning about the rationing and canning during WWII was so interesting to me. There would be none of this.

How to guides to cooking with rations.

Speaking of conserving, no one said it was easy being green...

 That night we took a trip to Chinatown. 

Wise words that will lead us into Part III....
