We are flying on our way back home now as I write this. Shrek 4 is the movie of choice funny enough. Luckily the airport was not crowded at all and we got through security and everything pretty quick. The day started out with us realizing that the continental breakfast wasn’t what we hoped it to be (we missed it earlier due to late wake ups). So we quickly packed up all our stuff, booked the super shuttle for our return, and check out/left bags for pick up. We realized our day was shorter than we thought. We ate one of our best breakfasts at the Corner Bakery. The weather got increasingly hot so we took the metro to the Smithsonian. We started off at the Castle building (original building for Smithsonian). Here we saw the tomb of it’s benefactor/creator. On display was Albright’s pin collection. We quickly glossed over this. Headed back out to the Air and Space museum portion. Here we quickly realized we did not have adequate time to see all that we wanted. This place rocked though. We saw Lindberg’s “Spirit of St. Louis”, Amelia Earhart’s Lockheed, Wright Bros. original Wright-Flyer, Apollo 11 landing capsule, and many other amazing aviation sites. This museum is densely packed with tons of great items. Our time was unfortunately limited. We headed out after buying some random soveigners. We went walking for a good place to eat lunch but after each step the sun and heavy humidity beat us down. We luckily found a very good pub that someone recommended as we read it’s menu outside. It was one of the better places we ate. After that we had only enough time to catch a metro back up to our hotel and find the Super Shuttle already waiting for us. A quick pick up of luggage and hop into the van brought us to our flight home, where we are happily relaxing our tired feet as we reflect on a great first vacation away together.
