Thursday in DC

On Thursday morning we went down to the Washington Monument to see if we could pick up any of the will call tickets that are distributed on a first-come-first-served basis every morning. We got there just a few minutes too late and they were all gone. We walked over to the Air and Space Museum […]

On Saturday Sam and I made the last trip of the “season” to Shaw’s Cove for snorkeling. We arrived around 11:30 and got to work. The water was the clearest we’ve ever seen it there, and possibly ever seen it in California. The warmth of the water in California follows a late summer early fall […]
