[IBC] Washington, DC Trip (Slightly OT)
Carla and I will be doing some quick traveling the next few weeks.
For Thanksgiving we are going to Ft. Lauderdale to see our daughter and her family. Down on Thursday and back on Saturday. (probably) May get to a few Bonsai places I know, but will visit Sawgrass Mills for the Day After Thanksgiving madness at 7 AM. On Dec. 2 we fly to DC for a few days. (The short trip is required because the daughter from above will come up to keep the house in order.) We don't arrive until late Thursday night/Friday morning and leave Sunday morning. I would love to visit the National Arboretum Bonsai Exhibit but I don't know if I will have time. We are staying at the Holiday Inn Capitol near the Air and Space Museum We want to get to the National Cathedral and though about one of those tours where you can get on and off all day. Maybe this for Friday and then just walk the Mall on Saturday. Any suggestions for brief stops as part of either trip will be appreciated. My last trip to DC was in the early 1960's when I was stationed at Quantico, VA. That last trip I stayed in the Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airman's Club near the train station.

Hi Billy,
The problem is lack of transportation between the Hair & Face Museum (what we called it when we were kids!) and the Arboretum. As the date approaches give me an email; I'd be happy to give you and yours a lift over there (say on Saturday?) for a tour. The bonsai museum is open 10:00 am. Dave "Billy M.
