Vacation Part II -- DC
N&A: After a couple of days at Steve and Peggy's, we rented a car and drove 8 hours (split into 2 segments with an overnight on the road) to our nation's capital, where we visited Janet, Bill, and Mandolyn.
A: Hanging with Mandolyn
N: Riding the metro together. We are on our way to the National Air & Space museum, since I am a big fan of propeller planes these days. We had just read a book about the Wright brothers, so it was cool to see their flyer.
N&A: We felt lovey after eating some of the best Middle Eastern food we've ever tasted. Food trucks are big in DC -- there must have been 15 or 20 of them parked by these office buildings selling everything from Indian food to Asian tacos to crepes.
N&A: Obligatory mall shot
N&A: The highlight of the day was the Lego exhibit at the building museum. Grown-ups like to play with Legos too, and they make some impressive creations.
N&A: And even more fun than looking at Legos is building with them.
N&A: We also tried our hand with a couple of other building materials:
N&A: And then we ate Texas barbecue. Love that mac' n' cheese.
