I came to D.C. with the very real intention of continuing my workouts...but honestly, this city is a workout in and of itself. For starters, there are a MILLION things to see so in two days, my friends and I have walked...and walked...and walked...for well over 13 hours. It may not seem like much, but when you walk for six consecutive hours, you feel it the next day. Today alone we saw:
The Hope Diamond (Natural History Museum), the Gutenberg Bible, drafts of The Declaration of Independence, the American Constitution and Bill of Rights (the Library of Congress), T-Rex (star of Night at the Museum), the FBI Building, the Navy Memorial, the US Capitol and a merry-go-round.
Tomorrow we plan to head to the Arlington Cemetary, the Pentagon and the National Zoo. (I'll be taking a "break" by attending a few of the conference sessions). :p On Sunday, I plan to wrap up the week at the Botanic Gardens and, if time permits, maybe the Museum of Crime and Punishment. :)
Here's a shot of the subway...taken with my phone. :)
