5/24/11 - 5/30/11 We always wanted to see Washington D.C. so it was exciting to arrive. Gangplank Marina was not much. It was more geared for "live-aboards" working in D.C.. It was, however, very convenient for us because the subway and grocery store were within walking distance. Over the next four days we visited the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum (awesome!), The Sackler Arthur Gallery (okay), The African Art Museum (very good), The Hershorn Museum (okay), The U.S. Capital Building (private tour by our representative's aide was worth the trouble to arrange because we avoided huge crowds), The Library of Congress (worth the visit), Museum of Natural History (not so much), American History Museum (very good), and several art galleries. We walked and gawked and snapped pictures in ninety degree heat until we couldn't walk anymore. Lace picked up a bronchial problem that left her coughing and weak so after some last minute provisioning we shoved off for the three day trip back down the Potomac and back into Chesapeake Bay. I don't believe we could have survived another day.
