Day 1:
It rained and rained and rained our first day in DC! It so heavy at times, it never occured to me take pictures even! So we have very few pics from our first day. However, we went to The American Museum of Art, The Spy Museum, Fords Theatre, Stood in line at the Archives (but ended up leaving the line after standing in the rain for 45 minutes).
