Wow. The only thing better than attention from random people (who don't hike) on a hiking website is uniques! :D For NOT HIKING! :y: :sweat: :lol:

After a 5pm dinner with some people of the age who eat dinner at 5pm, I had to go do something, so I grabbed a bike and explored the seat of power in America. That's not true. I didn't see a single lobbyist. ](*,)

But there's a lot of things made of marble, and some of them are neat to look at. The people thing was a lot easier to deal with at night than during the day. LP might have a good idea with this pedaling thing! :)

In the continuing Griswold adventure mode, we made our way down to DC for 3 day side trip from Pittsburgh. First day was a 5 mile hike around the Mall. I start HAZTRKS as soon as we got off the Metro and turned it off on our way to the food court when we were done. I'm sure we walked at least another mile on our way to and from the metro and our hotel, but I'm only counting the official walk around the Mall.

We started east of the Washington Monument, made our way to the WWII memorial, north of the reflecting pond to the Vietnam Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Korean War, MLK, and Jefferson. Total time was close to 3 hours, including time stopping at each memorial to take pictures. We were all very tired at the end of the walk. Hit a nice Mexican place at the food court in L'Enfant Plaza, the kids each ate their whole quesadillas with no help. Made it back to the hotel to rest up, post pics, and get ready for Day 2 at the Smithsonian tomorrow.

The weather went from chilly, but warming, on Saturday, to chilly all day on Sunday, to cold & snowy on Monday -- which was, of course, the day we had chosen to visit the National Mall to see the cherry blossoms. It was too miserable to stroll the mall, so we ducked into the Smithsonian Air & Space museum for about an hour. It was crowded when we got there about 10am, and was shoulder-to-shoulder -- mostly with inattentive, noisy, teens :x -- by the time we left. Cool displays, and I played "name the plane/rocket/missile" before we left. Bought an Apollo XIII "Failure is not an option" t-shirt, amongst other souvenirs. Wife wanted to visit Macy's, so after stopping for hot soup at a sports bar across from the Archive metro station, we continued walking up 7th St NW, to the Verizon Center, before turning west on G St NW. Entertainment was provided not by the woeful Washington Wizards, but rather by a screaming, running, crazy lady. We quickly crossed the street. Macy's was disappointing, so we walked down to Pennsylvania Ave NW, and hopped the 32 bus back to Georgetown.
