Back Home Again

Arrived back home about midnight on Sunday. Here are some shots I got at the National Zoo...

The Prairie Dog was wondering if he would be paid for posing.


The Panda would not look at the camera!



The Lion was just chillin out.


The Tiger wondered if I had any food,


He got a drink and then kept looking ..



For something to eat...


More pictures...tomorrow!

Washington DC Photos



The Washington Monument above with the sun setting behind it was one of the last pictures I took on Friday. We really tried to get as much in as we could on what proved to be a beautiful day in D.C.



The Jefferson Memorial



The Capitol Building




The Museum Of Natural History




The Lincoln Memorial





The Korean War Memorial




The museum of American History, I think I look a little Presidential.



One thing I noticed when we started out on the National Mall was that it really could use some turf builder, that proposal to spend a couple million on some grass seed might not have been too far off the mark.


Did you notice , I still got some moves !!

Well, I'm tired and going to bed, if you click on the pictures and they are extremely large, I'm sorry..I don't have my usual editing program .

We Made it

Team Hideaway has made it to the Washington DC area!! Thanks to the wonders of portable GPS, we made it with little or no traffic, NYCwas the exception' but no worse than anything I've come up against in Boston.

Last night I delivered some Schmitts Chocolate Truffles to my cousin that lives down here and picked up a parking pass that we will use to park close to Washington's Metro System, their subway.

We then grabbed a late bite to eat for dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings, a chain but not bad food, a couple beers and then went back to the hotel

Today we are headed to the National Mall where I will get some pictures to post. The Smithsonian Institute is right there to and I heard from someone that knows that it would take a person an average of 17 YEARS to read about everything on display or archived in any 1 of the 19 Museums they have !!

We will try to get in as much as we can !
