Tuesday, August 10th - UNBELIEVABLE SERVICE! We showed up at 9:00 this morning to get the van repaired, and we were out of there in no time at all! As luck would have it, the replacement door did not need painting as it was the original colour, and Vincent now looks good as new - well, as good as it did before it tried to take on a pole!
That left us most of the day to spend touring the Smithsonian. Finding parking once again was a bit of a challenge, but we did find a 2-hour spot on the street. We started in the National Museum of Air and Space, saw some fabulous stuff there. We moved from there to the National Museum of Natural History, where we could have gotten lost for days. We had to go back & move the van before our meter ran out (note, they must be pretty prompt on checking the parking, as I saw more than one vehicle with that "boot"). We found another spot only a block from the Natural History museum, & headed back there. The Smithsonian is actually a series of museums that are located along both sides of the National Mall, there is more than enough to keep people occupied for several weeks, so I do regret that we didn't have enough time to spend there. But, we did manage to enjoy ourselves quite a bit where we were, and got some fabulous shots!
We also got to spend an hour in rush hour traffic, sigh....I will never complain about Winnipeg rush hour again!
