Cordell and Hugo decided to spend time in Washington, D.C.
today. So at breakfast, they made plans for what they would do. Hugo eats very
well and this morning he had an English muffin with peanut butter and banana
slices.
They drove to the closest metro station and rode the metro into
the city.
The first item on Cordell’s “to do” list was to go into the
Air and Space museum. He had taken a travel bug from a geocacher we met a few
days ago. The mission of this bug is to go to the Space Center in Florida and
make a photo before returning back to Austria where it began its travel in
2008. Cordell took the bug to the Lunar Module Moon Landing exhibit and made a
photo of its “visit” there.
On their way to the Museum of Natural History, they stopped
to look for a geocache which is part of a new series placed by the Smithsonian
Museum. Hugo’s family had looked for it when they were touring at the museum,
but they were not able to find it. As an experienced geocacher, Cordell was
able to see it rather quickly. It is a new way of hiding a cache and Hugo has
had another geocaching lesson that might help him when he looks for caches in
France.
Hugo and Cordell had time to see a few exhibits before
lunch.
Then they stopped briefly and ate pizza.
Our friend, Jim Harle, volunteers at the museum and he was
able to take Hugo and Cordell behind the scenes at the museum.
Back at home, Cordell grilled some steaks outside and we
enjoyed a nice dinner together. We watched another Baltimore Orioles game
before going to bed. It was a good day.
