Friends don't let friends

The wife picked these up for her and I while we were in D.C.



On Saturday she was at a store picking up some greeting cards and had this button on her purse. The clerk saw it, smiled, and asked the wife where she got it as she wanted them for herself and her husband. She seemed to be disappointed when the wife said D.C.

The person behind my wife, listening to the conversation, asked to see the button. After seeing it he wanted the buttons for himself and his friends.

Made my day!

Seen in DC

I saw this shirt while walking around the reflecting pond.

Words to remember

As we walked through the various memorials I was trying to explain to Thing2 the sacrifice made by those whom the memorials were built for.







This image, from the Korean War Memorial, is exactly what I was trying to say.

Day 2

Driving to a city for the first time is best with a GPS.

I took a spur rather than the main expressway and ended up in a major traffic jam. The GPS said "recalculating" and we were at our first destination in DC in a few minutes. Great little toy.
