J-Tree - LADC - DC: Day 6

My flight home was at 3pm on Tuesday so I had to use my time wisely. I decided to do breakfast at Kramerbooks which is a bookstore/cafe/bar near Dupont Circle that I'd heard good things about. I arrived at 9am and discovered that my good luck in the city had run out because the cafe didn't open until 10am. All was not a loss though because the bookstore was open and I think bookstores are better than Disneyland. I think I just labeled myself a nerd with that last sentence... :) I browsed a bit and lusted after all the interesting books while continually reminding myself that it would be impossible to fit anything else in my already overstuffed bags.

I reluctantly left Kramerbooks empty handed and saw another Motorcade while on my way to the White House Museum! I don't think the president was in this one though because the van with the machine gun man (I'm sure there's a term for him; machine gunner?) sticking out of the top wasn't in the line up. After the White House Museum I spent as much time as possible in the Air and Space Museum before heading to the airport. The Apollo exhibit and airplanes were fascinating, but I will always and forever be drawn to the humanities which was very evident on this day in particular because of all the things in the museum I was most interested in learning about the lives, family history and relationship of the Wright brothers!

I loved the buzz of excitement about the city and was truly impacted by the amazing wealth of history and information that reside there. I can't wait to go back!
