I had a free day in DC last year during a meeting and enjoyed a lovely walk around the mall and a visit to the holocaust museum.

Where did everyone go???

I keep getting caught up in the trip report

Lyn, How long will it take you to get to your mom's house tomorrow?

hhhmmmm...
won't get there until Sunday!

Tomorrow night in Yonkers, NY with friend from high school.
Sunday afternoon with friend from college in Caldwell, NJ.

Usually it takes me 10 - 12 hours. I have learned to stop and get out of the car every two hours or so.
Sometimes a 5 - 1 minute walk and stretch. Sometimes a longer walk around a mall. The mall walks were a treat when I first moved to Maine and drove back home. There are two major (but small) malls in Maine and I was so mall deprived!

Took me a while to post my last post.
However I won'tbe here for long, my phone battery is dying.

Free!
That is what I love about D.C. Most all the attractions are free!

That is the reason I try to avoid scenic routes (when I have to be somewhere by a certain time) because I have to stop in every town.

Mine died earlier today in the middle of a phone call.

I don't know if I could visit there.
My step father who I love dearly is Jewish and I don't know
if I could handle that.

I am studying google maps now trying to find the right route between the two friends houses. And also wondering about other interesting stops along the way.

One of the best stops is the Lindt factory in New Hampshire. They have a factory store that sells "seconds" of the Lindt truffle balls. YUM!

That means more walking to walk off the Truffles.

I understand, I have a hard time passing the Russell Stovers Outlet in Seymour, Indiana, when I am traveling towards Indy, though I usually plan the stop on my way home.

Hi Jen are you coming in to chat for a bit?

 

[tlcoke]

I may meet up with Kim (Mommy C) tomorrow for lunch. She sent me a message on FB that she would be available. I told her to call me and we would find a time & place to meet.

I KNOW I couldn't go to the Holocaust museum. I would be in tears the entire time. I wouldn't be able to see anything.

Visiting the Holocaust Museuem has been part of school trips for high schoolers. It is not as emotional for them as they don't truely understand the impact. DD15 came home and talked about how overwhelming it was and how she was someong who died.

They give you a plastic bag (smaller than a produce bag) and you stuff with as many truffles as you can. As long as the twist tie can stil close the bag. Can get around a hundred for $10.00!

It was very moving, but definitely worth the visit no matter what your religion. There were a number of people moved to tears at various times.

I also hear that the native American museum is great too. The air and space museum holds a special place in my heart since I use to love it when I was a kid.
