Saw ever Memorial that I could. The new WWII mem. is phenomenal.
Went to some brewing company and the bartender was also named Brennan, so he gave me a free Octoberfest. win!
I went to the Newseum which has more cool **** than I could have imagined. Had the radio tower from the World Trade Center, a monster slab of the Berlin Wall, (which was torn down when I was 7) and a really nice piece on the first amendment.
FDR's memorial was fairly cool, and of course I went down to the congress and the White House.
I'm kind of a political junkie so this place is exactly my thing. Also, I hunted congressional members the whole trip and didn't find one. But I was putting my shoes back on in the airport and Alan Grayson (congressmanwithguts.com) walked by me (notoriously vicious liberal from somewhere in Florida) and I went down to take a photo with him but he literally ran to make his flight which I checked to make sure it was him. Sure enough it went to Orlando.
All in all I had a hell of a time.
