    I've been in the White House. Nothing special.

    Me too. Like the Senate floor, it all just seems smaller in person.

    As for something special, every so often I used to walk down from the GW campus (and later from my office at 18th and K) down to the Lincoln Memorial. The words carved in the marble inspired me. Still do. Special.
    Lincoln was the single greatest resident of that dump of a house.
    If you're interested in a good read, try Lincoln's Sword, a book dedicated to deconstructing the craftsmanship he used in putting together speeches and proclamations. A far cry from the current Twitter shitshow, to be sure.
    Will have to check that one out. One of my first posts here last year was about Petersen being in the middle of Team of Rivals, a far cry from the reading comprehension level of his predecessor or the current boob in the WH.

    I don't believe in deities, but post the Revolution, Lincoln is the closest thing to divine providence in our nation's history. We could really use another one...

    Spy museum is dope.

    I now have a mission to collect all the bond watches.

    But all joking aside....they really did a hell of a job with the WW2 memorial.

    Everyone should see it.

    I'm flying there tomorrow. Never been, but my sister lived there so she planned our entire itinerary. Of which I haven't looked at yet but we are going to see the dump.

    I agree. It's my favorite part of everything. My grandpa was a belly gunner on a B-17 and one of the air raids he was in is on the Europe side.

    WW2 is by far our greatest accomplishment as a country.
    My GPa was one on the top of the Idaho Lassie in the Euro theatre. I actually found a log of their missions online. Cool shit.

    I hate to break it to you. Idaho Lassie was a whore from Wallace/Kellogg.

    My grandpa is just too frail to go according to my family. I told them fuck it were going.

    He needs to see it. It's super dope.

    In all seriousness the space museum is dope and if you want to check out the Holocaust museum you need tickets so check that out.

    US Mint (Bureau of Engraving and Printing) has a pretty cool little tour, and my kids loved the Newseum when they went for their 8th-grade trips. I've always liked the Navy Museum, but it's in a sketchy part of town (Green Line!).
