Washington Navy Yard and College Park Aviation

31JAN07 Wednesday. Brrrr…..It’s Cold out. Temps climbed to a whopping 27degrees today. With the Wind Chill 17degrees. Received a call from another Navy Reservist who will be going to Afghanistan with me. He lives locally. Specifically in Alexandria City, Virginia. He invited me to dinner tomorrow night at 6:30PM. Actually gives me something to look forward too. Went to the Washington Navy Yard and the College Park Aviation Museum today. The Navy Yard had a lot to offer. Parking however, is lacking. Finally found a parking space (after 20 minutes of running around). Spent a couple of hours in the Navy Museum. On display was a lot of Maritime-related goodies from the USS Constitution, some Cannons, and Deep Diving Stuff. Grabbed my sandwich, then off to the Marine Museum. It was closed. Did manage to get a haircut and some Pepsi for the next couple of days. After the Navy Yard, headed North (before the Traffic got crazy). Stopped by the College Park Aviation Museum (just a few blocks from my hotel). Whereas the Museum has a tiny collection, it was still pretty neat to see where Orville and Wilbur put their Planes into work with the Army. Managed to get back at about 4:00PM. Will upload the majority of other pictures to the following web site. Tomorrow, will try to get to the Cold War Museum. Will update accordingly. Doug
