I'm starting with the last day first, but this will give you an idea of Andy's great adventure in Washington, D.C.
Andy specially requested that we lunch at Bread and Chocolate our last day in D.C. The dazzling array of desserts there was, of course, the draw. He had a cupcake for lunch. Oh well, who will know? Then we headed to a nearby playground to get that last burst of energy out before our long flight home.
Did they say "Don't touch the sculptures" and "Don't climb on the rocks"? (At the Hirschorm sculpture museum and the Native Indian museum).
Pretzels and ice cream and spiders and dragons -- oh my! Lot's to do in D.C. for a kid.
We had a fun day at the D.C. Zoo. Sleepy boy Andy dozed all the way back to the hotel from the zoo unaware of the comments and stares his gorilla mask caused.
Andy's mom (Cherise) was in Washington D.C. for a conference with lots of important meetings and chairing a panel but she took some time to sightsee with Andy the day before the conference began. Highlight of this day with the Lincoln Memorial and the World War II Memorial, a walk to the back yard of the White House where we saw Michelle Obama's vegetable garden and we saw President Obama in a motorcade pass right next to us (the secret service man denied it but he did so with a bit of a smirk). Andy was sure he'd see President Obama (and he did) but he also thought the bronze statue of an "economic genius" that graces the front of the Treasury was John McCain ("Look, John McCain"). He got a few laughs from the crowd walking around us for that one.
