I pretty much had to pick one big place to tour, and so I chose the Washington Monument.


A duplicate of this statue (or is it the other way around?) is in the capitol in Richmond.




Back to American History: PowerBook used on "Sex and the City" and C-3P0.


Transportation exhibit. Actual Route 66 concrete. I wish I'd been able to spend more time here.


The "Seinfeld" puffy shirt's presence in the Smithsonian was on Final Jeopardy recently.


Marine Corps/Iwo Jima memorial, within walking distance of hotel.


Jefferson Memorial, late at night. Parking right by the monument has idiotically been blocked off. Poor Mr. Jefferson, all by himself, and now it's even harder to get there.


Manassas National Battlefield Park...


...but shouldn't that be Bull Run? (Maybe because it's in the South, the park service went with that name?)


Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy Museum near Dulles. Lots and lots of planes.


Enola Gay at right


There were no space voyages for this starship Enterprise.




Just in time for rush hour on the Beltway.








Going through downtown Baltimore.




Orioles-Red Sox game scheduled around the time we went through.


Took I-83 from its south end to York, then 30 to Lancaster.


The easternmost point I've been on 30.


Getting on US 222 for first time. This was ending a day in which Mom and Dad did genealogy.


Started July by clinching I-283.




It could be worse - it could be Clearview attacking the button copy.


Pennsylvania's Capitol rotunda is very busy, and I mean that in the artistic sense.




The 253(!)-member Pennsylvania House, still in session because of (drumroll) budget cuts.
