First few days

Hey all you guys, its been interesting the past few days. Wednesday night we were panicking with packing. Thursday was ok, but really boring. Some of us had just gotten Tetanus shots so our arms were sore. On the flight there was an inflight trivia game, Ethan won 4 times and Clark got the alltime high score on the trip. Once we landed we freaked out about how hot it was and how cramped the minivan is.
It didn't help that the GPS device was programed to take us into N. Carolina, and we didn't notice until we had gone about 20 miles past the hotel. We made a U-ie and made it back to our hotel, only to find out it has a ridiculusly tiny pool. We went out and rented Mr. Bean's Holiday from a red box.
On Friday we went to go see the Int. Spy Museum. It was a lot of fun for some of us. It was interesting because it only talked about Spy stuff more than 20 years old. Guess they're not giving away any hints. We also went to see the National archives and the Dec. Ind., Bill of Rights, and Constitution. The Archives Gift Shop was outrageously priced, wanting 4 bucks for a pen (Admittedly they did have an interesting design which made them great for left handers, Ethan was so disappointed that they were so expensive. After that we made our way down to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, which we were only in for a half hour before it closed. We are going to go back tomorrow to see more stuff there. (and that building has awesome A/C, and DC's heat index is supposed to be at 105 tomorrow).
Sorry pictures aren't up yet, it took a whole hour and a half to even get them on the computer, and its 12:12 AM here so I need to go to bed. I'll put in some pictures tomorrow.
