what ya' got?

so you didn't express your opinion about the family vacation in august with free travel. but the kids did. surprisingly, they want to go to dc. we figure we better hit it now or else they may not like that idea again for a long, long time. you know, we are about to hit the years where distasteful attitudes tend to flare, esp. in regards to family vacations. i remember my own teenage trip to our nation's capital with my dear family--all i really wanted to do was swim in the pool at the house we rented and eat dc's best pizza and at some hoagie place. aside from that, my memories are reduced to a pretzel and a sprite outside the place where we saw the liberty bell and quoting the Gettysburg Address at the Lincoln Monument (i'd had to memorize it in school because I had gotten caught cheating on a test). also, i threw up on that trip.

anyway, enough rambling. the point? if you've been to the area lately, i'm open to helpful advice on where to stay. so send all wisdom and knowledge related to said vacation my way.

thanks and gig 'em.
