Last Day in DC

Our last day in Washington, Husband had meetings until early afternoon. I whiled away the time by the pool.

We walked to the Smithsonian for lunch in the sculpture garden, then went to the Museum of American History for awhile.

We saw some interesting exhibits on numismatics, transportation and the Continental gunboat "Philadelphia", which is the only surviving American gunboat from the Revolutionary War. Benedict Arnold was her commander. The boat was salvaged in 1935. It is a National Historic Landmark.


We flew over our place on the way home. The second picture shows some of the high water levels right now in our area.
