I'm going. I also took of Monday just in case (and because I have a crapton of leave this year. A metric crapton).

I think it's technically Smithsonian Institution museums or some such phrasing.

And the Lincoln is even cooler now because they triangulated the step where MLK gave the speech and put an inscription there. But that's better in the day.

I am professionally obligated to point out that you may only keep a mole rat in your pocket if your pocket is large enough to contain a couple of dozen of them.  They need to live in colonies, if they are separated from the colony they will die.

I have never seen the monuments at night.  I've only lived here for ten years, I've been, um, busy I guess.  I've seen pictures.

I've never seen the monuments at night either, in person.  Weird.

Anyway, I'll probably be there.  What the hell.  I'll have to leave earlyish though (well, early enough to catch the train back to Philly).

When is this thing again?

Hmm, according to Mapquest, ATL to DC is a 10.5 hour drive. For me, should be more like 9 hours. I'm ALL ABOUT this. Choop - wanna share a ride?

Also, is there a cheap-ass motel within the city anyplace that's not too shady? I'm really a Motel 6 kinda girl.

And the monuments at night rawk, as the kids say. Especially the Korean War Memorial. Freaked the living crap out of me when I was 15.

There are a bunch right around the Crystal City mall (in VA) which should be quite metro-accessible. In fact several hotels there are connected to it via a tunnel system.

That sounds really bad out of context.

Damn, wouldn't you know it, but I'll be in Cancún. Yes, yes, drinking margaritas and cheladas and eating real tacos and chilling poolside. Heh. Sorry.


Really, though, I hate to have to miss this, but as the missus can't take vacay except when her boss is gone from the office for an extended period, we can't really reschedule at this point.

Next time: Totally there. I hope.

March 7.  

Woo!  How exciting!  

We're taking the train from Raleigh.  It's about 5 hours by car, and the same by train.  

I've just been sent a love note via network printer.  I'd best go...

It's about 8 hours to Raleigh from Philly - not a pleasant trip.  Last time I rode the train there it was the beginning of October and the leaves were all gorgeous.  I should've brought my computer with me, though.  The novel and notepad just weren't doing it for me.

The train from here to D.C. is about three hours.  Not bad, but it's only about two hours by car.  Don't ask me why I can drive it faster than the train can go.

Anyway, with the old eyes getting worse I can't really drive.  So it'll have to be the train.

Oh man, poor Choop.  He's going to be in Cancun instead of coming to freezing cold Washington DC and getting to meet me and Jough and.... Oh wait a minute...

March 7th, you say? I will just be pulling into Portland after the drive about the time you folks are at the zoo. Thanks for the thought, but I wouldn't trade for the world. If one of these happens on the west coast sometime, though, I'd be fully up to it as long as it was during the time I'm home from work.

Hmmm...

On second thought, this seems to be happening the same weekend as my grandfather's 90th birthday party.  I'll still be in town, but I am not quite sure of my schedule.
