Washington DC...
« on: February 22, 2009, 10:13:55 PM »
Overall, I learned a lot about the North.

1. I apparently talk too slow
2. I'm too nice
3. I have a funny accent

^^was most of what I heard :lol

But, it was very pretty, the first day kind of sucked though.

I get to Houston, and I'm really tired, I had gotten up at 3 AM, I get to my terminal after eating a small breakfast, and I chill there, I hear something, and this HUGE mexican dude, beat up this old lady, took her purse, and tried to run off while Airport security arrested him :lol

I went to the Smithsonians (didn't see ANY WWII Planes except for like the basic 5 or 6), went to Patuxent, and I saw the new V-22 Osprey, and let me tell you, this thing is HUGE! We then drove behind the runway in our bus, and an F-18 taking off shook the bus with after burners, which was awesome. I got like 250 pictures.  :aok They're uploading right now, just got back.

No one in DC is from DC.  Therefore we are considered some strange mix of everything.   :rock

You didn't go to Udvar-Hazy at Dulles Airport?

Thats where the Smithsonian has a large portion of it's collection, AR234, Fw190F8, N1K2-J, F4U-1, P-40E, the list goes on and on. The Collection at the Mall pales in comparison to the collection at Dulles.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I love D.C. My second wife took me there as a surpise anniversary gift in October 2003.  We were only there for a few days, so I didn't get to see everything I wanted.  Can't wait to get back, they were still working on the WW2 Memorial when we were there.  My favorite trip ever.

D.C.  38°N.
Nashvile  36°N.

Having been to DC, I would have to say that it is more 'extremely Northern Southeast' than 'North'.
