David visits DC

Jack's brother, David, was in town this weekend for a conference. On Saturday we picked him up and headed down to DC on the Metro.

Me and Evie in front of the National Mall.... There was some controversy as Glenn Beck was holding a rally at the Lincoln Memorial (see background) on the anniversary of both MLK's I have a Dream speech, and Forrest Gump's Vietnam Protest speech (where he met up w/ Jenny). Thousands of Gump fans thought that Beck had no right to speak on such hallowed ground on such an anniversary and held a counter potest.

Eating bomb pops, my newly established tradition when in DC on a hot day.... Its the patriotic thing to do.

David in front of the Washington Momument....

Jack and Evie in front of the Coelacanth at the Natural History museum.

I bought a ticket for the live butterfly display. It was awesome.
