Washington DC

We expected to spend a short time moseying around to show Kat the monuments that she'd already learned about. Traffic was awful. Weather was awful. Parking was terrible. Kat pitched a fit.

We finally found a spot and put on our new (we hit REI) rain gear and headed out. She was still carrying on when we were checking out the White House. but, once she saw how much water there was, the rivers running down the streets, the enormous puddles, she moved on. We got drenched. Repeatedly. And had a blast! We (wearing my sandals, I was all over it too) did some serious puddle jumping. We watched a river run down the Washington monument. I tried to explain to Kat about war. Good wars vs bad wars....

Anyway we really did have a blast playing in the rain and visiting some of our nation's greatest monuments.
