Saturday in DC

After the trolley took us sightseeing this morning, Jacob and I got off at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. He seems to understand engines and science things and probably enjoyed it more than anything we have done here. Then we hopped back on the trolley and rode it to the Museum of Natural History where we saw interesting things such as totem poles, a stuffed elephant, and the Hope diamond. Then we caught up with Poppy, had lunch at Ollie's, which adjoins our hotel, and got on the trolley at the stop behind Ford's Theatre. We took a long hot ride around the city seeing Georgetown, Embassy Row, the National Cathedral, one big stone government building after another, Chinatown, the Potomac River, various parks and monuments and pretty trees, statues of men on horses, hotels where famous people have stayed, and homes where they live and have lived. When we got off, we got the best cold cokes we've ever had.

Segway users near the museum. Are they riding or driving on the sidewalks?
