Well, I will try to get the names right.
Motorwife-I lived in DC for a while. It is beautiful and really easy to get around there. The subway is pretty self explanatory and everything you might want to see is on one route or the other. We also took a choir of 13-18 year olds from church and they all got into the trip. One of the most awesome places was Arlington Cemetery, because you go by all of the statues of Iwo Jima, and such. The tomb of the unknown is also a thrill, because of the soldier who stands (or marches) duty there 24-7. Change of guard is cool, too.
I hope he also goes to the national cathedral.
We took our girls to Williamsburg a few summers ago and they loved the visit to Jamestown and to the replica's of the Nina, Pinta and Santa Marie. Those are small boats to go all the way across the ocean.
Anyway,

: I wish I was swimming as much as you are. What is your age if you don't mind. I am 53 and when we were young, we went nearly every day though we didn't swim on teams. My girls only like to sunbathe, with 10 to 15 minutes of swimming thrown in.
Thanks for the warm welcome

I like it now that I can use the emoticons. I was trying to drag them.
Elrin, I like to make coupon cards and staple them together. You put things on it like, ONE Free Back Rub, FIVE free butterfly kisses, ONE Free Car Wash, I will watch ONE sports program of your choice without an argument , One free night out with the guys with no pouting or argument, or, This Coupon is good for the CD of your choice. (If you might have some money to spend later). Hope that helps. :idea:
