Trolley Tour, Newseum and Our Anniversary

We have become quite the expert on Old Town Trolley Tours. The absolute best was in Savannah where Tammy was our driver and she was full of non-stop historical info—St. Augustine and Charleston weren’t nearly as good—the DC tour we took today was 2 hours and it was almost as good as Savannah. Because we have been here a couple of days some was redundant. We did see a First Amendment Rally at the Capitol, all the memorials and we went by the Smithsonian. What is clear—the greatest art galleries in the country are here—our niece Brooke would be in 7th Heaven, We had parked our bikes outside the Newseum which we knew we wanted to tour after the Trolley Tour. We lunched at the Wolfgang Puck Restaurant in the Newseum and then saw the terrific history of journalism and media—The Newseum until the rain started around 4pm. It has been so hot we are really glad they could let us stay docked at the Capitol Yacht Club—we came home to await some storms but to a cool boat because we could leave the AC going. Tonight if we get an appetite we are going out to dinner to celebrate our 38th Anniversary.
