A few days ago, Victoria told me that this weekend we were going to do something fun and that it was going to be a surprise. She told me to bring a bathing suit, a pair of earplugs, and the underwater digital camera. Since it's September, I was a bit confused.
So we got into the car yesterday, and she started driving. We ended up in Washington D.C. The bathing suit and earplugs were just to throw me off.
On Saturday we had lunch at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian (where they had vegetarian options), and then we spent the rest of the afternoon at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Pictures will be posted this week. It was interesting because there was huge exhibit about the Soviet space program (covering it's progress and individuals like Chief Designer Sergey Korolyov). I had not been there since the mid 1980's while the Cold War was still going on, and at that time there had been no mention of the Soviet program that I can recall (most information was not declassified until after the collapse of the Soviet Union).
Today we walked around the Mall, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, etc. It was a cloudy day, but as a result it also wasn't too hot.
Got back to New York this evening. My Linux-DVB patches got merged to the mainline in this morning, so I have to do a bit of testing tonight to make sure nothing was broken.
