We managed to clear security at Washington DC in less than 10 minutes. I gues that made up for the hour it took to check the bags in and get our tickets. Both of us are wondering just how much stuff we are going to have to get rid of by the time it comes to going to the UK where carry on luggage has all but been banned. Those Lonely Planet books are quite heavy you know!

DC has been great. The Smithsonian Museums truly amazing and great value (free). Some of the more interesting museums were closing for renovations and had less on display. Adam was disappointed that the "Pop culture" display had been reduced to a corner near the escalators. We also made the trek to see the Washington monument and the Lincoln memorial and are now determined to get to the Shrine of Rememberance on our return home.

Next stop Boston..
