Tamika, (sunnytj2000) had a birthday on Sept 1th and I looked at her profile photo and thought, I could give her a gift by changing her shot. I downloaded the shot and did a little lighting and color changes.  I hope she is happy with the outcome.  Happy Birthday!!   If this is a …

Our trip to Washington was on short notice and I had little if no time to plan or research the place at all. Not that I do, or did at the time of this trip. I was pleased to find that it was an Old World kind of city with many historic buildings and, of course, a multitude of monuments (just…

Wow! This is my first TravBuddy entry in nearly six months, and of that I am both saddened and ashamed. I had to hold off traveling for awhile, because of the mountain of debt I created from traveling last summer, added to by the fact that I hardly worked at all in the fall (because my airline furl…

I visited The Mall and Georgetown. My best favorite city so far\(^o^)/

We started our day by taking the Metro over to Judiciary Square.  At first we considered just getting off at Chinatown and walking to the National Building Museum rather than exchanging trains but we decided to wait the ten minutes for the next train.  When we came out of the station…

Today was our "museum day".  We started by going to the Holocaust Museum, since they start giving out passes in the morning for a time slot for you to return and see the exhibits.  While we were waiting for our time slot we went to the 5Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. …

  So I'm off to audition for the Bellydance Superstars again! This time it's in Washington DC. A considerably longer trip, I must say. So after getting through security and all that we had a while yet until we had to board the airplane. It was around lunchtime, and all we had was some trailmix…

I realized that after living on the east coast for my whole life, I’d never actually visited the nation’s capitol.  Once I realized how sad that was, I decided to plan a road trip.  The first leg of the trip took me from Knoxville, Tennessee to Washington DC.  The second part was…

A few photos of DC

Spring in Washington, DC is an amazing sight. If you ever get the chance to visit, definitely consider early April. Although you'll need a jacket for the morning and evening, the weather warms up around noon to a nice 70 degrees Farhenheit, and you can comfortably walk around the city viewing all t…

This was our first time to go downtown to see the Japanese cherry blossoms in full bloom in Washington, DC.  There were also many people flying kites and one boy who thought he was Indiana Jones in a Raider's of the Lost Arc movie.  The area around the Tidal Basin has litterally hundreds&…

I finished my visit to DC with lunch at Union Station and then a journey up top to see the Christmas tree from Norway and the display of a Norwegian Christmas.  I liked the added trace of the trolls :)

I had planned this trip a long time back. Even before I came to this country! Washington DC. The center of all the action. The seat of Power. It is difficult not to be overwhelmed with the idea of the White House and the Capitol Hill along with several historic monuments that adorn the capital …

Usually,I prefer seeing places rather than showing!But lately, I became a "personal tourist guide" w/o even realizing it.. Right after I got back fr Argentina & Uruguay for my Spring break, a good friend of mine fr Indianapolis came to visit me. We went to alot of places & it was alot of driving, but we had so much fun. Then, right after I dropped her at the airport, my sister from Phoenix flight's landed. Next!...

Took advantage of conference to head back to Washington, DC with my wife. Saw some friends and ate the best cheeseburger in the world. Makes me hungry just thinking about it. Enjoy the pics. Cheers!
