"I love history because when you strip away all the social and political aspects, it's really just a bunch of fun stories."

Times John Made Fun of Lauren's Navigation Abilities: 2
Today's Itinerary: Explore Washington DC
Leasons Learned:
1.) Another day in DC, same weather, still HOT
2.) Lauren can only take so much history in one day.
3.) Lauren and John can only do 27,000 steps in the day before they are both tired of walking
What a busy day and we both can feel it in our tired feet, legs and backs. 27,000 steps in a day in the heat is quite the distance to cover. We hit all the major attractions, White House, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, US Capital and the National Mall in general. We covered a bunch of the museums as well, Smithsonian Air and Space, Natural History, American History, and Holocaust Memorial.
We met up with one of my friends from Findlay for lunch and Lauren was kind enough to let us talk Warhammer 40k, while she enjoyed her Chinese food, Candy Crush and air conditioning.
