DC 2009




This year the Cardinal Health Retail Business Conference was held in DC. JoAnn and I went and left the kids home. We had a great trip. We did get to sight see some and took care of business as well. It was amazing to stand in some of the great historical sites and see them with our own eyes. The tomb of the unknown soldier was very awe inspiring. The Washington and Lincoln monuments are huge. We were able to see the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and Constitution. They were in the National archives and they keep it dark to preserve the documents. No flash photography is allowed so the pics we took were hard to see. Cardinal reserved the Air and Space museum on night and so we had dinner and the whole place to ourselves. It was cool to see all that stuff in actual size.

That looks like a very fun trip for the two of you. We love DC. My brother lives there and my sister lives in Fairfax, VA...so we have been there too. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
