Exploring DC!

Yesterday Andy and Sally drove us to Deltaville to get or motorcycle. It took almost 3 hours one way, that made for a very long day. It was great of them to do this for us. Now we will be able to drive to NY to visit our children and grandchildren. That is the plan for tomorrow.

This morning we walked to the Harbor Police department to get our boat registered for DC. We are a documented boat but they still want us to register if we plan to be here for an extended period of time. When we were finished we went for a short walk where I took this picture of the Titanic Memorial. We then stopped back to the boat and had lunch. After lunch we walked to Larry's new place of employment, it took just under 20 minutes. Not bad for a commute on foot.

The building is just a block from the National Mall so we walked up to take a look. I forgot how impressive the structures around the mall are. We went into the Air and Space Museum but it was packed with tourists from school kids to adults. I think we will go back at a less crowded time. We strolled though some of the gardens and they are in full bloom. The sweet smells of the flowers was very pleasant.

Tonight we went for a second visit to the Capital Yacht Club and met more members. Next week we will submit our paper work to start the process for membership. So far the members we have met are very friendly and welcoming. We are looking forward to being part of the club.

We'll it's getting late and I have to pack. We plan on getting started to NY by 7 AM and I'm very tired from our excursions today.
