Last week, I had the opportunity to go to Washington D.C. for a week. My job sent me there for a mentoring program. We were treated to a tour of the Pentagon, where we met the Auditor General, Theodore Williams, and got to visit the Pentagon 9/11 memorial. After working hard all week (not), I flew Dave out to finish out the week with me. We caught a preseason NFL game on Friday, Patriots Vs the Redskins; Patriots won of course, ate ourselves silly with an excellent crabcake dinner in Georgetown at a 100 year old tavern called Clyde's, explored the Smithonian's untill we couldn't walk anymore, rode the famous Metro, were in awe at Arilington National Cemetary at the Tomb of the unknown soldier, and finally toured the enitre National Mall.
The Washington Monument. In the forground, there was a group of people playing frisbee football; and I thought the frisbee was dead.
Dave and I got to see Senator Ted Kennedy's funeral procession. Thousands of people lined the streets from the State Capitol to Arlington National Cemetary.

John Kerry was one of the many dignataries following Ted Kennedy's motorcade. If you click on the photo, it will enlarge, allowing you to see him clearer.
Dave, riding the Metro. I recommend to anyone visiting the D.C. area, to forget renting a car and take advantage of the city's vast and cheap transit system.
Wind From the Sea by Andrew Wyeth, one of my favorite painters .
Ginevra de' Benci - painted in 1474 by Leonardo Da Vinci. It's hard to imagine that that painting is that old.
