Last Leg: MD and DC
The last segment of our holiday travels was the East Coast, and we had fun, despite the viral/bacterial harvest....
Finally, here's my versions of the pictures everyone takes:
That was, unfortunately, the last gasp for my camera, whose frame was no match for the gears and levers inside a reclining chair. A replacement has been purchased on eBay and should be here any day now, and then normal shutterbuggery will resume! ¶ Friday, January 18, 2008
 | First place we went in Maryland was the Double T Diner. Greek food! |
 | Just Max, chillin' |
 | We did a day trip up to NY to see Grandpa Vic, and stopped to see Max's other cousins. We had, I'm told, a great visit with Grandpa Vic and my Aunts, but I missed most of it. Blech. |
 | Back in Maryland, Max and Grandpa Norm built a house. Grandpa provided popsicle sticks, glue and engineering; Max was architect and decorator. It ended up as a small train depot. |
 | Preparing for my conference appearance: it's been a long time since I had to match ties and shirts.... fortunately, I had access to Dad's collection of ties, as well. |
 | Max finds my mainland formal wear very amusing. |
 | Alex, Kim and the cousins came down to Maryland for another visit, mostly while I was at the meeting, but we got to overlap a bit. |
 | We did DC one day, walking past the White House, going up the Washington Monument, and doing a few turns through the Natural History Museum. Max enjoyed the train rides, too. |
 | No visit to the Mall is complete without a turn on the carousel! (I remember it being a lot cheaper, though.) |
 | Woody took the ride, too. It was a very full day, but the weather was great and we had fun. |

Love the carousel pictures. :) Looks like you had great fun.
Question--did you see the FDR memorial? The last time I "toured" DC, it had just opened.

No, we really didn't get to see any of the memorials, except what you can see from the Washington Monument windows. I'd love to go back and do the whole monument tour: Lincoln, Jefferson, Vietnam, WWII, FDR, etc. But maybe not with a six-year old.
It was a great day, really perfect. Except for the part where we left Max's stuff in the taxi on the way home and I destroyed my camera. Other than that, though, you couldn't have asked for nicer weather or a better day.
