No more car. We’re back in DC for the day. We started our morning with an absolutely wonderful breakfast experience at the Lafayette Room in the Hay Adams hotel, across from the White House. The decor is beautiful, the service is attentive, and the food was wonderful. We felt pampered.

Then we spent most of the day in the Newseum. This site was not on our original schedule, but we heard so many good things about it we decided to give it a try. Good thing we did. We both enjoyed it very much. Again, there were some wonderful video presentations at this museum, a common theme at attractions in this city. We saw movies on how news got it’s start, what makes news, sports news, Woodstock, the Holocaust, and more. There were exhibits on the FBI, Berlin Wall, sports & Pulitzer Prize winning photos, President’s dogs, 9/11, the evolution of news, and more.

We stayed in tonight to watch the Duck football game. We were sitting on the couch watching the pregame show when the game was about to start. Boom, the screen went black. We switched channels and all others seemed fine. We called for help and were told that ESPN2 always did that during a non-local game, whatever that means. I tried and tried to find it online and the closest I could get was listening to Jerry Allen. Then I found it! Did you know you can watch streaming live video of games from ESPN360? It worked and we were able to watch a great Duck football game. Go Ducks!
