  died

- the White House Visitor Center/ White House
- National Archives
- National Gallery of Art
- Old Post Office Pavilion
- State Department Tour
- Supreme Court
- Library of Congress Tour
- Air and Space Museum
- Bureau of Engraving and Printing Tour
- National Museum of American/Natural History
- Arlington National Cemetery
- ALL the Monuments
- eating at Union Station
- going on a cruise down the Potomac to take us to Mount
  Vernon

We must have walked miles upon miles each day!  I am glad we were able to do as much as we did!  Now we don't have to go back again!  It was a nice part of our vacation being able to see and learn all that we did.  However, I am ready for the next part of our vacation to begin!
