Barb and John Flint, Barb and I walked to the Newseum, a resent addition to the many attractions in Washington, D.C.! Yes I did spell Newseum correctly! They advertise that you can walk it at a fast pace in two hours but we took most of the day to see all of the displays and watch a 15 minute 4-D feature! The Newseum addresses the news industry from hand setting type to today’s fast news reporting. The four of us enjoyed the total package as presented. Considering most of the news events that were addressed happened in my life time it brought back many memories both good and not so good! I would recommend visiting the Newseum when in D.C.!

Carl and Ricki have family visiting so there off doing something else for a couple of days.

Barb Flint’s nephew joined the four of us for dinner at a Chinese restaurant close to our marina. The food and company were both great.



Tomorrow we will visit the new visitor’s center in the U.S. Capitol!
