Wow, what a great weekend it was. This author and her good bud Andrea not only did Awesome Con at the convention center in downtown D.C. (see yesterday's post) but we also did some sightseeing around our fair capitol of Washington. It had been a long time since Andrea had been to these sights, and it was just so much fun. We logged 8.5 miles walking in the blazin', throttlin' heat (the kind that closes right around you when you step outside) -- how's that for an Iron Woman Challenge??? Lunch at Hard Rock Café, the monuments including the World War II Memorial and Lincoln Memorial, and a couple Smithsonians. A great day.
And can you believe, we found items at the Smithsonian related to some great classic TV shows???? It made the day even better! Here are some shots from Sunday, starting off with the authentic model of the Starship Enterprise used on the original "Star Trek," at the National Air and Space Museum ...
Next, here's what we found at the Museum of American History ...
Archie and Edith Bunker's chairs were there, of course, but Fonzie's jacket must be in storage. And where's that Farrah exhibit I've been so anxious to see???? Ryan O'Neal donated several items from Farrah Fawcett's belongings a few years ago -- including the famous red one-piece swimsuit from the poster -- and I've never been able to see them on display! Pleeeeezzzz, Smithsonian!
