Good Times and Crazy Folks

The past few days we have seen some exciting things.  Laura and I agree the Old Post Office might be our favorite building. It is awesome looking...

 Here is me, Finn, and Ben...

 At the American History Museum, Finn spotted the sports balls fast...

 I was shocked to see that this camcorder is museum material. My family had this and took it on vacation. How times have changed...

 Finn loved getting to see the cars...

 We got in an old subway car...

 Finn wore his hat a few places...

 Finn wanted to take pictures with Laura.   He was so sad when I wanted a picture with him.  This caption to this is me: "Finn will you take a picture with me?"  Finn: "NO.  Laura."

 Finn climbing the White House gate...

 Standard tourist pose.  *even taken by fellow tourist*

 We went in the White House gift shop...

 When you purchase something you can take photos with these props.  Laura thought this was the best plan ever and I am waiting to see how she uses this marketing  scheme in her life.

 Tosh and Laura reminded me of the JFK photo that is similar to this.  So funny. This wasn't staged. I was clueless..

 Finn got a Washington Monument and a White House figurine to add to his collection. Much like the Statue of Liberty, the White House is already chipped. I love that his monument collection will include damages and stories associated to them. Here he is playing with them back at the White House...

Some things we saw but did not get pictures of:
1) A large, older man with bleach blond dreads and no shirt on sitting on a park bench.  His cut off denim shorts were cut all the way up the sides leaving very little to the imagination. It was a sight.
2) A demonstration that was incredibly awesome.  The group was playing percussion and chanting while wearing signs about fair wages.  I was impressed and  even stopped to chat them up.
3) I got to see Clarendon (our neighborhood) after dark!  After Finn went to bed, Tosh stayed in so I could go see what lurked in the night with Laura.  It was an amazing people watching experience.  We got to see a constant stream of public intox.  
4) Also in our late night people watching we saw a guy get knocked out by a bouncer and then loaded into an ambulance.
5) I got to see a passer by propose to Laura.   Another one stopped for a quick dance in her face as we stood up against a building.
6) A homeless man that was in disguise as a business man. The reason I figured him out was because his rolling suitcase was really a metal cart full of random items, covered in a tarp.   Tosh was impressed by this. The homeless people in big cities are super classy.

There is so much to see here that is historical, interesting, or just plain bizarre.
