So we made it! Kids loved the ride on the metro .. then we wandered around the smithsonian and the nat'l mall .. and then walked to chinatown. We had a delicious dinner at a little hole in the wall Indian restaurant. And bought cupcakes for dessert. It was chilly and rainy .. but we all had a great evening. Back to our fancy hotel (yay for hotwire) so we can see a lot more tomorrow.

Better luck on this outing with the kids. I loved listening and then seeing the woodcocks flying all around us. We were so lucky to see one right on the path. We also saw a bluebird, white-tailed deer, and a turkey who was roosting in a tree.
