DC Day 8

To whom it may concern:
We have completed our 8th day in DC and we are not ready to come home. There is still a lot we haven't done and seen but we have come to a point in our trip that we must be packing our bags in preparation of heading home.
Today we rode the ducks, visited Ford's Theater, returned to National Portrait Gallery, ate cheaper steak, and visited the Jefferson Monument.
1. Rode the ducks: We traveled through the city learning many interesting facts about the city and those who built it. Along the way we traveled to Reagen International Airport where we set afloat in the Potomac River. There came a time in our journey down the Potomac that the captain required the assistance of a second mate in taking the helm and steering the vessel. Carson rose to the occasion and steered the vessel on its way.
2. Fords Theater: While at the Theater we listend to one of the best tour guides we have encountered on our trip. She was a storyteller for sure and really drew us into the story of the tragic evening events. We were also able to see several artifacts from the the tragic event.
3. National Portrait Gallery: We split up to visit some of our favorite portions of the museum. One of the things that I like most was a Andy Worhal of Michael Jackson.
4. Ate a steak: I finally found a steak place that wasn't near as expensive as the previous.
5. Jefferson Monument: Finished the night with a visit to the monument as the sun set for a beautiful evening.

Tomorrow...American Indian History and Culture Museum, Old Post Office Tower, West Wing of the National Gallery of Art, and Library of Congress if time permits, and catching a flight home.

It might be a couple of days before we post our final day blog so check back soon.
